abstract = {Recent reconstruction of the phylogenetic relationships of hornworts has revealed novel hypotheses of unique common ancestries. The genus Megaceros, for example, was shown to be polyphyletic with New World species of the genus nested within Nothoceros. Here we present a sampling of most widely recognized species of both genera to provide a phylogenetic delimitation of Nothoceros and Megaceros based on the genes rbcL and nad5. Nothoceros (including the New World species of Megaceros) is monophyletic and restricted to the American continent (except the New Zealand N. giganteus) and the genus Megaceros is restricted to Asia and Australasia. The three widely accepted American species of Megaceros, M. aenigmaticus, M. fuegiensis and M. vincentianus are transferred here to Nothoceros. The lack of defining morphological characters for Nothoceros despite its morphological diversity highlights the need for further taxonomic, morphological and ultrastructural studies of the genus.}
