A family of leafy liverworts. It is a group of small plants that are widely distributed. In biological classification, family (Latin: familia, plural familiae) is 1) a rank or 2) a taxon in that rank. ... Families See text Jungermanniales is the largest order of Liverworts. ...


Most of the species of this family are found in tropical regions. In biology, a species is one of the basic units of biodiversity. ... The tropics are the geographic region of the Earth centered on the equator and limited in latitude by the two tropics: the Tropic of Cancer in the north and the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere. ...


The main characteristics of the family:


1. Oil bodies are small and unsegmented.
2. The leaves are never folded.
3a. In larger species, the leaves are three or four lobed (often dentate) and have an incubous insertion.
3b. In smaller species, the leaves may be divided to their base as filaments.


Family Description

Species may range from a light to dark green, with some species of Bazzania bluish-green to brown. When the plants branch, the branches do not grow from the underside of the stem.


The leaves are not folded, but are lobed or divided. Species which grow as larger plants have the leaf tips divided in two to three lobes or teeth. Smaller species typically have their leaves divided all the way to the base in two to five thread-like strands of cells. The underleaves vary as well, but typically resemble smaller versions of the lateral leaves.


The rhizoids are few and restricted to the base of the underleaves. Species of Bazzania may have long ventral branches. Rhizoids, in fungi, are small branching hyphae that grow downwards from the stolons that anchor the fungus. ...
