This study was conducted in Belukar Bukit Recreational Forest, Terengganu<br />

which was rich in biodiversity. However, there was very lack of record for<br />

liverwort species. Therefore, a comprehensive checklist regarding liverwort was<br />

desirable in assisting more future related studies. The aim of this study was to<br />

identify and prepare genus taxonomic key for liverwort samples found for the<br />

region. Fieldwork and identification work were conducted in collecting and<br />

identifying all 94 samples respectively. The result gives a newly record of 20<br />

genera in 9 families, 3 orders and 1 class with the large number of species was<br />

represented by genus Lejeunea (22 taxa); most of them favor growing on tree<br />

trunks. A brief description was provided for each genus. This record can be an<br />

update checklist and latest reference for Terengganu. As suggestion, more<br />

exploration should be done in producing a complete view regarding liverwort<br />

flora for Malaysia.<br />
