Taxonomy


Lembophyllaceae is closely related to the family Neckeraceae. Members of Lembophyllaceae are differentiated from Neckeraceae by their typically terete shoots (vs. mostly complanate), the leaves being mostly often loosely appressed, and frequently well-developed peristomes (vs. reduced or 'neckeroid' periostomes).
