BRYONET: Request for Lepidoziaceae

BRYONET
Dear Bryonet,
I am a doctoral student at the University of Sydney. I am working on the
phylogenetics of the Lepidoziaceae (Hepaticae) and we have been finding
some very interesting results. We have a very good representation of the
New Zealand and Australian floras but unfortunately representation from
outside our region is limited. I am hoping that some of you might be
able to help.
In particular I would like to be able to include:
- Micropterygium (any species)
- Lepidozia and/or Telaranea species from the Northern
Hemisphere and South America.
In general any South American Lepidoziaceae and any Lepidozia and
Telaranea species from outside Australasia are of interest.
Please contact me (endymion.cooper@bio.usyd.edu.au
<mailto:endymion.cooper@bio.usyd.edu.au> ) if you would be willing to
provide duplicates and/or lend or exchange specimens. For DNA work
recent collections (up to 10 years old) are required.
I look forward to hearing from you (and returning the favour some time).
Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.
Best wishes,
Endymion
