Lejeunea patens Lindb.

Note

This species was reported from Suva Mt. by Jurišić (1900). However, it is currently considered to be a hyperoceanic southern-temperate species ( Blockeel et al. 2014), and thus not present in the east of Europe, though widespread in Northwestern and Western Europe. In the South-east, it has been reported from Romania and Slovenia, but rejected according to Hodgetts (2015). Papp & Erzberger (2009) studied the area mentioned by Jurišić (1900) but did not confirm the presence of this species. Thus we consider that it should be rejected from the present list of liverworts in Serbia.
