Radula jonesii is a species of liverwort in the family Radulaceae, first described in 1988 from specimens collected in the Anaga Mountains of Tenerife. Endemic to Macaronesia, this dark to olive-green liverwort is known from five locations on Madeira Island and one location on Tenerife, where it grows as both an epiphyte on trees such as Laurus novocanariensis and as a lithophyte on shaded rocks in old growth laurel forest ecosystems between 800–1,000 m (2,600–3,300 ft) altitude. The species is distinguished by its procumbent growth habit, pinnately branched stems measuring 10–15 mm (0.4–0.6 in) in length, and distinctive cellular features including uniformly thin-walled leaf cells. Classified as Endangered due to its restricted range and small population size, R.
Radula jonesii is known from five highly fragmented locations on Madeira Island between 800–1,000 m (2,600–3,300 ft) above sea level and one location on Tenerife around 800 m (2,600 ft) above sea level. It is found only in ravines and on north-facing slopes in old growth laurel forests. On Madeira Island it grows primarily on trees, while on Tenerife it grows only on wet, shaded rocks.
