Abstract
Oil bodies of liverworts are true membrane-bound organelles. Only the liverworts contain oil bodies among bryophytes. The purpose of this study is to classify the oil body types of some liverworts in Kinabalu Park. A total of 22 species in 13 families and 16 genera of liverworts were collected from Silau-silau Trail and Liwagu Trail at elevation of 1450m - 1750m in Kinabalu Park. Field works were carried out on 9 July 2004 and 10 July of 2004. Twenty-one species have been identified to species level and one to 8enera level. The oil bodies photographs were taken by a Camedia Olympus digital camera which was attached to a compound Olympus microscope. There were five oil body types distinguished, namely: Massula-type; Bazzania-type; Jungemannia-type; Calypogeia-type; and, Radulatype. A key to species of liverworts was constructed based on oil body and other characters. A dendrogram has been constructed by 'Nearest Neighbour Method' from the Multivariate Statistical Package (MVSP) program. In conclusion, the oil body characteristics play an important role in the taxonomy of liverworts
