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'' Radian 1903 * ''Marchantia'' Linnaeus 1753 * '' Preissia'' Corda 1829 non Opiz 1852 However, the genera ''Bucegia'' and ''Preissia'' have since been merged into ''Marchantia'', leaving only the single genus in the family.Long, David G., Laura L. Forrest, Juan Carlos Villarreal, Barbara J. Crandall-Stotler. 2016. "Taxonomic changes in Marchantiaceae, Corsiniaceae and Cleveaceae (Marchantiidae, Marchantiophyta)". ''Phytotaxa'' 252 (1): 077–080. 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 Aytoniaceae is a fami ...

Marchantiales
Marchantiales is an order of thallose liverworts (also known as "complex thalloid liverworts") that includes species like ''Marchantia polymorpha'', a widespread plant often found beside rivers, and '' Lunularia cruciata'', a common and often troublesome weed in moist, temperate gardens and greenhouses. As in other bryophytes, the gametophyte generation is dominant, with the sporophyte existing as a short-lived part of the life cycle, dependent upon the gametophyte. The genus ''Marchantia'' is often used to typify the order, although there are also many species of ''Asterella'' and species of the genus ''Riccia'' are more numerous. The majority of genera are characterized by the presence of (a) special stalked vertical branches called archegoniophores or carpocephala, and (b) sterile cells celled elaters inside the sporangium. Phylogeny (extant Marchantiales) Based on the work by Villarreal et al. 2015 Phylogeny (extant and extinct Marchantiales) Extinct complex thalloid ...

Marchantia
''Marchantia'' is a genus of liverworts in the family Marchantiaceae and the order Marchantiales. The thallus of ''Marchantia'' shows differentiation into two layers: an upper photosynthetic layer with a well-defined upper epidermis with pores and a lower storage layer. The thallus features tiny cup-like structures called gemma cups, containing gemmae, small packets of tissue that are used for asexual reproduction. The combination of barrel-shaped pores and the circular shape of the gemma cups are diagnostic of the genus. Multicellular purple colored scales with single cell thickness and unicellular rhizoids are present on the ventral surface of the thallus. Reproduction ''Marchantia'' can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Sexual reproduction involves sperm from antheridia on the male plant fertilizing an ovum (egg cell) in the archegonium of a female plant. The antheridia and archegonia are borne atop special gametophore stalks called antheridiophores and archegoni ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Reboulia
''Reboulia hemisphaerica'', the hemisphaeric liverwort or small mushroom-headed liverwort, is the only species of liverwort in the genus ''Reboulia''. A possible second species ''Reboulia queenslandica'' (Stephani) M. Hicks was published in 1992, but it was later determined to be a polyploid cross between two varieties of ''R. hemisphaerica'', so not a distinct species. Subsequent lists and publications do not recognize it as distinct. Riccardin C Riccardin C is a macrocyclic bis(bibenzyl). It is a secondary metabolite isolated from the Siberian cowslip subspecies '' Primula veris subsp. macrocalyx'', in '' Reboulia hemisphaerica'' and in the Chinese liverwort '' Plagiochasma intermedium'' ... is a phenolic cyclic bibenzyl secondary metabolite isolated from ''R. hemisphaerica'', as is marchantinquinone.

Lunulariaceae
''Lunularia cruciata'', the crescent-cup liverwort, is a liverwort of the order Marchantiales (until recently included in the order Lunulariales), and the only species in the genus ''Lunularia'' and family Lunulariaceae. The name, from Latin ''luna'', moon, refers to the moon-shaped gemma cups. Distribution ''L. cruciata'' is distributed across the world, found in continents including Europe, Australasia, Asia, the Americas, and Africa. It occurs commonly in western Europe, and is native to the Mediterranean region, where the morphological forms from sexual reproduction are more frequently found there. It is also common in California, where it now grows "wild", and is known as an introduced weed in gardens and greenhouses in Australia.Schuster, Rudolf M. ''The Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of North America'', volume VI, pages 80-91. (Chicago: Field Museum of Natural History, 1992). .

Conocephalum
''Conocephalum'' is a genus of complex thalloid liverworts in the order Marchantiales and is the only extant genus in the family Conocephalaceae.AKIYAMA, H. (2022). Morphological and ecological diversification of Conocephalum conicum complex in Japan and Taiwan. ''Humans Nat'', ''32'', 1-45. Some species of ''Conocephalum'' are assigned to the ''Conocephalum conicum'' complex, which includes several cryptic species. ''Conocephalum'' species are large liverworts with distinct patterns on the upper thallus, giving the appearance of snakeskin. The species ''Conocephalum conicum'' is named for its cone-shaped reproductive structures, called archegoniophores. Common names include snakeskin liverwort, great scented liverwort and cat-tongue liverwort. Species of ''Conocephalum'' are relatively common and widely distributed throughout North America, Europe and East Asia.
