Frullania stylifera (R.M. Schust.) R.M. Schust. (Frullaniaceae) is newly reported for Canada. The species grows closely
appressed to the bark of trees and shrubs and was recently documented from two areas of mature forest at Buffalo Point First Nation in extreme southeastern Manitoba, Canada. These localities represent a northern range extension for the species on the continent and include two new phorophyte hosts for North America. Features used to distinguish F. stylifera from other known species of Frullania in Manitoba are provided.
