Frullaniaceae


The Frullaniaceae is a family of leafy liverworts, with structures differentiated into stemlike and leaflike organs. The leaves are complicate bilobed with prominent underleaves. This family is undergoing a substantial phylogenetic rewrite and is in flux. Most of what has been called "Frullania inflata" in the Gila the past will likely end up in the the "Frullania cleistostoma/saxicola complex", but until we look at these more carefully, they are not included.
