Timmiellaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae). It contains two genera, Luisierella and Timmiella, that were formerly place in family Pottiaceae.[1][2]

Taxonomy

[edit]

The genera Luisierella and Timmiella have been traditionally placed in family Pottiaceae in order Pottiales.[3] However, phylogenetic analyses have found these genera to form a clade, as part of a protohaplolepidous grade of early branching lineages in Dicranidae, for which the family Timmiellaceae was erected.[2][4] The family is now placed in order Distichiales along with family Distichiaceae.[5]

Genera and species

[edit]

The family contains the following genera[2] and species:[6][7]
