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 <small>Radian 1903</small>
  • Marchantia <small>Linnaeus 1753</small>
  • Preissia <small>Corda 1829 non Opiz 1852</small>

However, the genera Bucegia and Preissia have since been merged into Marchantia, leaving only the single genus in the family.

A number of additional genera have been moved to other families:

  • Asterella, now in family Aytoniaceae
  • Conocephalum, now in family Conocephalaceae
  • Dumortiera, now in family Dumortieraceae
  • Lunularia, now in family Lunulariaceae
  • Reboulia, now in family Aytoniaceae
  • Neohodgsonia, now in family Neohodgsoniaceae
