Frullania hattorii is a species of liverwort in the order Porellales, native to Tasmania, Australia. The species was first described by Matt von Konrat and John E. Braggins in 2003.[1]

Etymology

The species was named after Japanese botanist Sinske Hattori, who identified many species of Australian Frullania in the 1970s and 1980s.[2]

Genetics

Frullania hattorii forms a clade with the New Zealand species Frullania subrostrata, and is more distantly related to the New Zealand species Frullania aterrima. Genetically, Frullania hattorii is placed within the subgenus Diastaloba I, which includes species from the Seychelles, Papua New Guinea, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Sumatra.[3]

Description

The species is olive-green in colour, and has a mammillose dorsal leaf-lobe surface.[4] This form of leaf lobe ornamentation is not found in other Frullania species.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Frullania hattorii is likely endemic to Tasmania,[2][4] and is found growing on tree trunks and twigs.[4]
