Part II of Austral Hepaticae treats two of the largest and most complex suborders of the order Jungermanniales. The first suborder, the Cephaloziineae, includes some four families, of which the largest and most complex, the Cephaleziaceae, contains five subfamilies, with some 12 genera.
The second suborder, the Jungermannlineae, includes some six families, ten subfamilies, and 40 genera.
In total, some 69 genera are studied. As in Part I, each genus/ subgenus is illustrated with both gametophytic and sporophytic details, and usually cytological details (drawn from the living plant). Over 2700 individual figures on 224 plates, drawn (with isolated exceptions) by the author, often from living plants, have been prepared for this volume.

The work thus is a summation of what the author has learned in over four decades, in field and in laboratory studies, in all areas of the Southern Hemisphere. Much of the technical data are relegated to Annotations, in which a mass of data is presented, sing specific species to round out our comprehension of the verse genera. As in Part I of this work, synoptic keys for smaller genera keys are usually presented.

En 2000, R.M. Schuster faisait paraître Austral Hepaticae Part I (Nova Hedwigia Beiheft 118), sur lequel une rencension a été publiée dans nos colonnes (Cryptogamie, Bryol., 2001, 22 : 61-62) ; nous y renvoyons pour la partie générale de ce travail. Dans la deuxième partie de la sa révision des Hépatiques australes, R.M. Schuster traite de deux des plus grands et des plus complexes sous-ordres des Jungermanniales : les Cephaloziineae regroupent 4 familles (dont les Cephaloziaceae, divisées en 5 sous-familles et 12 genres) ; les Jungermanniineae comprennent 6 familles, 10 sous-familles et 40 genres.

En tout 69 genres sont étudiés et présentés comme dans la première partie. Chaque genre/sous-genre est décrit, illustré par des détails du gamétophyte et du sporophyte, des détails cytologiques sur la base de deux ou trois espèces. Toutes les figures sont de la main de l'auteur, et ont été réalisées à partir de matériel frais, récolté pendant plus de quarante ans dans toutes les régions de l'Hémisphère sud. De nombreuses annotations au niveau des espèces viennent en complément des descriptions génériques. Seuls les petits genres ont une clé. L'auteur porte son attention sur les grands genres dont la compréhension est mal aisée.

Les positions taxonomiques assignées ne sont pas immuables, elles sont le résultat des observations de l'auteur. La séquence adoptée ne doit pas être interprétée comme une signification phylogénétique ; aucun arrangement linéaire ne peut exister. Cependant, elle essaye de réunir des familles alliées. L'ancrage phylogénétique de chaque groupe est discuté sous chaque sous ordre.

Des nouveautés taxonomiques sont à signaler : description d'un nouveau sous-genre Marsupella subgen. Amphimarsupella subgen. nov. qui comprend 2 espèces : M. subhyalina Schust. esp. type, et M. andicola sp. nov. du Venezuela ; la sous famille Gymnomitriaceae subfam. Stephaniellaceae est élevée au rang de famille.

"Austral Hepaticae" is beside the monumental "Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of NorthAmerica" one of the main works of R.M. Schuster. Austral Hepaticae tries to provide a modern synthesis of the hepatic flora of the Southern Hemisphere, a summation ofwhat the author has learned in over four decades in this region of the world. Also the author tries to provide a modern synthesis of the definition of families and genera ofliverworts.

Part II of Austral Hepaticae treats two of the largest and most complex suborders ofthe leafy Hepaticae, the Jungermanniales: the Cephaloziineae and the Jungermanniineae. The Cephaloziineae includes four families, of which the largestand most complex are the Cephaloziaceae, with 12 genera. The Jungermanniineae includes six families with 40 genera. In total 69 genera are studied. Each genus/subgenus is illustrated with these for Schuster typical drawings withboth gametophytic and sporophytic characters, also often with cytological characters.

In total the book is illustrated with over 2700 figures on 224 plates. For smallergenera synoptic keys are presented.

That's one of the greatest works of R.M. Schuster. It is already by this time a standardflora of the Hepaticae of the Southern Hemisphere, surely it will be unsurpassed and it is absolute necessity also for a private bryological library.
