Leptoscyphus is a genus of leafy liverworts with 4 species
documented for Tasmania. As a genus, Leptoscyphus is easy to
distinguish from other Lophocoleaceae by the nature of their
underleaves. Leptoscypus has very small bifid underleaves
(sometimes narrower than the width of the stem)
which often contains a smaller tooth on each side. Species are not
easy to determine and the genus is in need for revision.
Leptoscyphus are commmonly epiphytic on rainforest or wet forest trees
but may also occur on logs.
