The below checklist is the result of numerous collector's, but primarily the many years of field work in the Interior Highlands by the second author. All collections forming the basis of this checklist have been examined through field and herbarium studies by the first author unless the locality cited is followed by a literature citation in parenthesis. Recent collections not seen by the authors have been added and are indicated by the collector's name in parenthesis. The checklist is incomplete but will serve as a basis for the distribution of liverworts and hornworts in the Interior Highlands, and as a basis for future studies and reference.

Counties located in the Interior Highlands are divided into approximate geographic regions, i.e., the Salem Plateau (SALEM PLATEAU), the Springfield Plateau (SPFD PLATEAU), the St. Francois Mountains (ST FRANCOIS MTS:), the Ozark Hills (OZARK HILLS), the Boston Mountains (BOSTON MTS), the Arkansas Valley (ARKANSAS VALLEY), and the Ouachita Mountains (OUACHITA MTS). Counties in Arkansas, Illinois, or Oklahoma are followed by their state abbreviation. Counties not followed by their state abbreviation are located in Missouri. The distribution of taxa in areas immediately adjacent to the Interior Highlands, the Unglaciated Prairie (PRAIRIE), Border Counties (BORDER COUNTIES) north of the Missouri River, the Mississippi Lowlands (MISSISSIPPI LOWLANDS), and the Coastal Plain (COASTAL PLAIN), are also noted (see Redfearn 1972 for an overview of the vegetation and geography, and a map of the Interior Highlands).

Literature citations for specimens not seen by the authors are included in the Literature Cited followed by additional literature pertaining to the liverwort and hornwort flora of the Interior Highlands. Voucher specimens, or references to herbaria where voucher specimens are deposited, are filed under the appropriate taxon in the bryophyte collections at the Ozark Regional Herbarium, Southwest Missouri State University (SMS) or The Missouri Botanical Garden (MO). Specimens deposited in other herbaria are parenthetical following the county. They include DUKE (Duke University), KSP (Pittsburg State University), SIU (Southern Illinois University), UARK (University of Arkansas, Fayetteville), and UMO (University of Missouri, Columbia). Except where noted, nomenclature and the arrangement of families follows Stotler and Crandall-Stotler (1977). The below checklist can be accessed through the Southwest Missouri State University's Ozark Regional Herbarium web site at science.smsu.edu/~csre/ herbarium/ liverw_t.htm.

Within the Interior Highlands 109 species of liverworts representing 26 families and five species of hornworts in one family are known. Twenty percent (23/114) of the flora is restricted to a single locality. This may indicate the lack of collecting or they may truly be restricted to these sites. Certainly much more intense collecting is needed to fully understand the species present and their distribution within the Interior Highlands.
