Abstract

Three species of liverworts are reported as new to Australia, all from the Australian Wet Tropics bioregion: Colura corynophora, Drepanolejeunea serricalyx, and D. tricornua. Significant range extensions within the bioregion are reported for another two species. Cololejeunea kapingaensis, previously reported as ramicolous, is here reported as an epiphyll.
