This list was extracted from Synopsis of the Liverwort Flora of North America North of Mexico by Stotler and Crandall-Stotler 2017 with a cross reference from the preliminary BFNA 29 data available in March 2024. Species attributions can be found in Stotler and Crandall-Stotler. Select synonyms have been included to make it easier to cross reference Liverworts of New England by Lincoln; Mosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts by Pope; How to Know the Mosses by Conard; and Syllogeus 62 by Ireland.
Asterisk (*) indicates the species is NOT in Liverworts of New England.
TEAL COLOR indicates the species is thalloid or a hornwort.
Distributions were retrieved from bryoportal.org in March & July 2022 using the polygon coordinates below or are from the preliminary BFNA volume 29 available online in March 2022. Distributions are generally New England, the Maritimes and Gaspe, QC. There is some errant distribution data for an unknown of species that I am slowly correcting.
