Noterocladaceae
''Noteroclada'' is a small genus of liverworts of the Southern Hemisphere. It is classified in Order (biology), order Pelliales and is the only genus in the Family (biology), family Noterocladaceae within that order. Unlike ''Pellia'', the other genus in the order, ''Noteroclada'' has a leafy appearance. The species ''Noteroclada confluens'' is known primarily from the southern regions of South America, although it has been reported as far north as Costa Rica, and there is a report from New Zealand. A possible second species is known from South Africa.Schuster, Rudolf M. ''The Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of North America'', volume V, pages 434-435. (New York: Columbia University Press, 1992).

Noteroclada Confluens
''Noteroclada confluens'' is a species of liverwort belonging to the family Noterocladaceae. It is characterised by grass-green shoot (botany), shoots bearing rounded leaves and distinctive underground tubers that come in two geographical forms. The species is primarily found in Latin America, with two main centres of distribution: along the Andes Mountains from Mexico to Tierra del Fuego, and in the coastal mountains of southeastern Brazil, with additional disjunct distribution, disjunct populations on several South Atlantic islands. It typically grows in moist montane environments, forming dense mats along stream banks, lake edges and seeps. While its taxonomy (biology), taxonomic history has been complex, particularly regarding confusion with the genus ''Fossombronia'', modern studies recognise it as the sole species in its genus and place it in its own family within the order Pelliales, related to but distinct from ''Pellia''.

Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...

Liverworts
Liverworts are a group of non-vascular plant, non-vascular embryophyte, land plants forming the division Marchantiophyta (). They may also be referred to as hepatics. Like mosses and hornworts, they have a gametophyte-dominant life cycle, in which cells of the plant carry only a single set of genetic information. The division name was derived from the genus name ''Marchantia'', named after his father by French botanist Jean Marchant. It is estimated that there are about 9000 species of liverworts. Some of the more familiar species grow as a flattened leafless thallus, but most species are leafy with a form very much like a flattened moss. Leafy species can be distinguished from the apparently similar mosses on the basis of a number of features, including their single-celled rhizoids. Leafy liverworts also differ from most (but not all) mosses in that their leaves never have a costa (botany), costa (present in many mosses) and may bear marginal cilia (botany), cilia (very rare i ...

Order (biology)
Order () is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between family and class. In biological classification, the order is a taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms and recognized by the nomenclature codes. An immediately higher rank, superorder, is sometimes added directly above order, with suborder directly beneath order. An order can also be defined as a group of related families. What does and does not belong to each order is determined by a taxonomist, as is whether a particular order should be recognized at all. Often there is no exact agreement, with different taxonomists each taking a different position. There are no hard rules that a taxonomist needs to follow in describing or recognizing an order. Some taxa are accepted almost universally, while others are recognized only rarely. The name of an order is usually written with a capital letter. For some groups of organisms, their orders may follow consist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Family (biology)
Family (, : ) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". The delineation of what constitutes a family—or whether a described family should be acknowledged—is established and decided upon by active taxonomists. There are not strict regulations for outlining or acknowledging a family, yet in the realm of plants, these classifications often rely on both the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of plant species. Taxonomists frequently hold varying perspectives on these descriptions, leading to a lack of widespread consensus within the scientific community ...
