Leptolejeunea Explained
Leptolejeunea is a genus of liverwort in family Lejeuneaceae.
It has a cosmopolitan distribution mainly in the southern hemisphere.[1]
The genus name of Leptolejeunea is derived from lepton from the Greek λεπτός (meaning "small") and also Lejeunea which is in honour of Alexandre Louis Simon Lejeune (1779–1858), who was a Belgian physician and botanist.[2] Lejeunea was the original genus of this type of liverworts published in 1820.
