Fertile plants of Lejeunea capensis were found in Tucumán, Argentina. The population discovered in the Chaco Serrano represents a new location with respect to the nearest occurrences in Northwest of Argentina and is the first record of sporophyte-bearing plants. Here we provide an amended description and an illustration including the first data of the sporophyte of L. capensis.
