These islands are steeper and rocky and have bear less vegetation, primarily grasses. Plants collected by Hooker from Auckland and Campbell Islands are listed below. Species described by him should be cited with his acronym Hook.f. (Hooker filius), but this has not been applied here for brevity. Species already described by other authors are indicated though.

Liverworts

The ''Flora Antarctica'' contains a very large number of liverwort species from the Auckland and Campbell Islands, at that time almost all assigned to the genus ''Jungermannia''. Of the 82 species mentioned in the ''Flora Antarctica'', 79 have since been reassigned to other genera in the Jungermanniales. Hooker credits the scientists in the Cryptogamic Botany Department, especially Thomas Taylor (botanist), Thomas Taylor, for their expertise and cooperation in preparing the sections on mosses, liverworts and lichens. The species published under their common authorship are generally indicated by Hook.f & Taylor. This has been omitted in this section for brevity. Authors are also not indicated with type species that have later been transferred to another genus while retaining the original species epithet, because this authority appears in the new combination between brackets.
