Taxonomical rearrangements of Solenostomataceae (Marchantiophyta) with description of a new family Endogemmataceae based on trnL-F cpDNA analysis

Abstract

The results of trn L-F cpDNA analysis of the suborder Jungermanniineae allow to re-evaluate relations and taxonomy of the morphologically distinctive species Solenostoma caespiticium . A new monotypic family Endogemmataceae is described. The new combination Endogemma caespiticia is made. Provisionally, the genus Nardia is placed in Gymnomitriaceae.
