Marchantiaceae

Marchantiaceae is a family of liverworts in order Marchantiales. It contains a single genus Marchantia.

Genera in Marchantiaceae

Until recently, three genera were included in the Marchantiaceae:

• Bucegia <small>Radian 1903</small>
• Marchantia <small>Linnaeus 1753</small>
• Preissia <small>Corda 1829 non Opiz 1852</small>

However, the genera Bucegia and Preissia have since been merged into Marchantia, leaving only the single genus in the family.

A number of additional genera have been moved to other families:

• Asterella, now in family Aytoniaceae
• Conocephalum, now in family Conocephalaceae
• Dumortiera, now in family Dumortieraceae
• Lunularia, now in family Lunulariaceae
• Reboulia, now in family Aytoniaceae
