Subject — ‘Ciliatae’. Marchantiales. Riccia species; southern Africa; taxonomy
Description Three endemic species of the group  'Ciliatae' (subgenus  Riccia sectio  Riccia) are dealt with. The description of R. natalensis Sim is emended, as Sim's original description (1926) was sketchy and Arnell (1963) had no fresh material to examine, which resulted in some inaccurate observations: R. microciliata Volk Perold is a diminutive new species w'ith conspicuous, arched marginal and occasionally dorsal cilia, whereas  R. mammifera Volk Per­old. another new species, has enlarged cells (or short cilia) along the thallus margins.
