Abstract;The family Aneuraceae (Hepaticae) based on the Philippines collections made by Dr. and Mrs. A. J. Sharp and Dr. Z. Iwatsuki was taxonomically studied. Twenty species and three genera are recognized. Among them twelve species are new additions to the known hepatic flora of the Philippines and two species are described as new to science: R. magnicellularis Furuki and Riccardia philippinensis Furuki. Lobaririccrdia coronopus (Steph.) Furuki is a new combination. Riccardia ridleyi Schiffn. is reduced to a synonym of Riccardia elata Schiffn. (author abst.)
