Pelliaceae


Pelliaceae is a family of liverworts with three genera: Pellia and Noteroclada, and Androcryphia. The three genera are easily distinguished, not only because they occur in completely separate regions of the world, but because Noteroclada has a leafy appearance, while Pellia is more clearly thallose. Androcryphia is much less common, and bears similarities to the foliose members of Jungermanniales.
