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.
