Curaduría y Determinación Taxonómica de Hepáticas (Marchantiophyta), en el Bosque Altoandino del Corregimiento de Pasquilla, Cuenca Media del Río Tunjuelo (Localidad de Ciudad Bolívar) Colectadas por el Jardín Botánico de Bogotá

Abstract

The liverworts are organisms that have different habits, grow in different habitats and their morphological development is very specialized, they are widely distributed but their greatest species richness is in tropical areas. Colombia has a variety of altitudinal fringes which develops various microclimates that allow the successful colonization of them. For the department of Cundinamarca the increase of the construction of the urban area, monocultures, among others, have fragmented their habitat, for this reason the curatorship and determination of liverworts collected by the Bogotá Botanical Garden in the township of Pasquilla, Cuenca half of the Tunjuelo River located in the Locality of Ciudad Bolívar, that presents covers of Andean Forest where the species are more abundant. Through the determination a total of 47 species, belonging to 23 genera and 13 families being registered, being the most abundant Lejeuneaceae, Frullaniaceae, Plagiochillaceae, Lophocoleaceae, Radulaceae, Metzgeriaceae and Pallaviciniaceae, among which 4 species are mentioned for the first time to the city, thanks to curation and determination we contribute to the preservation of each species in Andean ecosystems.
