Seven (7) thalloid liverworts under two (2) genera belonging to two (2) families viz., Marchantia papillata Raddi subsp. grossibarba (Steph.) Bischl. and M. polymorpha subsp. ruderalis Bischl. & Boisselier?Dubayle of Marchantiaceae and Riccia beyrichiana Hampe ex Lehm., R. cavernosa Hoffm., R. huebeneriana Lindenb., R. cruciata Kashyap and R. sorocarpa Bisch. of Ricciaceae are recorded for the first time from Manipur. Correct nomenclature, taxonomic description, habitat, distribution and photographs are provided for each species.
