description

The Lepidoziaceae belong to the group of leafed liverworts. It's a somewhat heterogeneous family. The prostrate to upright shoots are apparently forked or simply to multiple pinnate. Flagellar branches are common. The leaves are obliquely to almost transversely grown, mostly overshot and at their tip 2- to 4-toothed or lobed. Sub-leaves are often present, rarely rudimentary or absent. The species are diocesan or autocratic. The perianth protrudes far from the bracts, is ovoid to spindle-shaped and triangular at the top with a narrowed mouth. The spore capsule on the long seta is ovoid to ovoid-cylindrical and opens with 4 valves.
