Based on 308 specimens of Frullania Raddi collected in a variety of habitats in a 19-county region of northwestern Missouri between 2015-2018, 40 new county records are reported for this region dominated by agroecosystems. Six species of Frullania are now documented in northwestern Missouri. This study illustrates a broad distribution of a liverwort genus in a region of the Central United States. Despite extensive anthropogenic landscape conversion for over a century, riparian corridors, fire suppression, and conservation management have led to a heterogeneous network of forested habitats in northwestern Missouri.
