Jungermanniales is the largest order of liverworts. They are distinctive among the liverworts for having thin leaf-like flaps on either side of the stem. Most other liverworts are thalloid, with no leaves. Due to their dorsiventral organization and scale-like, overlapping leaves, the Jungermanniales are sometimes called "scale-mosses".
Jungermanniopsida is the largest of three classes within the division Marchantiophyta (liverworts).
Lepidoziaceae is a family of leafy liverworts. It is a group of small plants that are widely distributed.
Aneuraceae is a family of thallose liverworts in the order Metzgeriales. Most species are very small with narrow, branching thalli.
Kymatocalyx rhizomaticus is a species of liverwort in the Cephaloziellaceae family. It is endemic to Malaysia. It was previously known as Stenorrhipis rhizomatica.
Cryptothallus is a previously recognized genus of liverworts in the family Aneuraceae. The plants are small, and are white to pale green as a result of lacking chlorophyll. This feature led to the creation of a separate genus. The morphology of species assigned to Cryptothallus is very similar to that of Aneura. As a result, Karen Renzaglia in 1982 suggested that the only species then placed in the genus, Cryptothallus mirabilis, may be considered "merely as an achlorophyllous species of Aneura." Wickett and Goffinet argued the same position on the basis of sequences of nuclear, mitochondrial, and plastid DNA, and moved Cryptothallus mirabilis to Aneura. A 2010 molecular phylogenetic study confirmed the position of Cryptothallus within Aneura. This was accepted in the 2016 world checklist of hornworts and liverworts.
Pleurozia is the only genus of liverworts in the family Pleuroziaceae, which is now classified in its own order Pleuroziales, but was previously included in a broader circumscription of the Jungermanniales. The genus includes twelve species, and as a whole is both physically distinctive and widely distributed.
Solenostomataceae is a family of liverworts in the order Jungermanniales.
Acrobolbus epiphytus is a liverwort species in the genus Acrobolbus. It occurs in New Zealand.
Cephaloziaceae is a family of liverworts.
Leiomitra is a genus of liverworts in the family Trichocoleaceae.
Haplomitrium is a genus of liverworts.
Calypogeiaceae is a family of liverworts. This type of plant is a calcifuge.
Trichocolea is a genus of liverworts belonging to the family Trichocoleaceae.
Anastrophyllaceae is a family of liverworts belonging to the order Jungermanniales.
Balantiopsidaceae is a family of liverworts belonging to the order Jungermanniales.
Cephaloziellaceae is a family of liverworts belonging to the order Jungermanniales.
Chonecoleaceae is a monotypic family of liverworts in the order Jungermanniales. It only contains the one genus Chonecolea.
Lepidolaenaceae is a family of liverworts belonging to the order Porellales.
Lepicolea is a genus of liverworts belonging to the family Lepicoleaceae.
