Austrolejeunea (Lejeuneaceae)  
   
Austrolejeunea is a genus of leafy liverworts represented by five species in Tasmania. Distinctive features of the genus are: one under-leaf per pair of lateral leaves and the narrow insertion (only a few cells wide) of the leaf lobe to the stem.

Austrolejeunea, as it is currently known, includes species previously placed under Nephelolejeunea and Siphonolejeunea.
