Excerpt from Handbook of British Hepaticæ: Containing Descriptions and Figures of the Indigenous Species of Marchantia, Jungermannia, Riccia, and Anthoceros
It is difficult to estimate the number of known species distributed through the world, since the latest Synopsis is now fifty years Old. In 1847 the total stated by Lindley was seven hundred, but at the present day it cannot be estimated at less than two thousand, and possibly more, of which two hundred have been found in the British Isles. When it is remembered that Dr. Spruce records about five hundred and sixty species for the Amazon and Andes, of which but few are European, it must be conceded that our estimate is the lowest which could be accepted.

Excerpt from Handbook of British Hepaticæ: Containing Descriptions and Figures of the Indigenous Species of Marchantia, Jungermannia, Riccia, and Anthoceros
The splendid monograph of "British Jungermanniæ" published by Sir W. J. Hooker, in 1816, was the first independent work on the Hepaticæ published in this country, although many species were figured in Smith and Sowerby's English Botany, 1790-1814. After that time no attempt was made at the publication of a separate work until 1865. During the interval the Liverworts were included in general Floras, such as Hookers English Flora, Vol. V., in 1833, but notably in Gray's Arrangement of British Plants in 1821, and in the latter several new genera were proposed, which were wholly ignored down to most recent times.
