Abstract

The Colombian hepatic flora is a very rich one. About 60% of all the species of tropical America and one sixth of the World's hepatics occur in Colombia. The country has more species than the whole of Africa south of the Sabara and almost twice as many as Europe.

The new catalogue of the hepatics of Colombia accepts 840 species (in 36 families and 136 genera): 832 species of Hepaticae and 8 species of Anthocerotae.
