Molecular systematics of the leafy liverwort family Lophoziaceae cavers

Many recent workers have included it in Jungermanniaceae, and even in its strictest sense, internal classification has varied widely among different treatments. Here an analysis of the variation in DNA sequences of the chloroplast rps4 gene and the trnG intron provides resolution of phylogenetic relationships in the leafy liverworts with emphasis on the various elements usually placed in Lophoziaceae. The following conclusions are drawn.
