Current conservation status
The conservation status of the New Zealand hornwort and liverwort flora is reassessed using the New Zealand Threat Classification System (NZTCS). A full list is presented, along with a statistical summary and brief notes on the most important changes. This list replaces all previous NZTCS lists for New Zealand hornworts and liverworts which previously had been part of a generic bryophyte conservation status assessment that included mosses.

Distribution
Indigenous. New Zealand: North Island (Northland). Also Australia, New Guinea and most of western Oceania
Habitat
Lowland forest. Corticolous on tree bark (usually in sheltered sites and on bark that commonly dries out for long periods)
Substrate details
Corticolous. Lowland and coastal forest.
Threats
Drepanolejeunea ternatensis is an easily overlooked, extremely small cryptic liverwort of tall forest. It has a very specific habitat, growing on tall canopy trees, on the bark in sites which are often rather dry. Indications are that it is probably widespread, though biologically sparse. There areno obvious threats affecting this species.
