Amblystegiaceae

From Palaeos.org

The Amblystegiaceae are a clade of mosses primarily found within damp habitats. As currently circumscribed, the Amblystegiaceae are not yet supported by any morphological synapomorphies; it has only been resolved by molecular analysis combining both chloroplast and nuclear loci (Vanderpoorten et al. 2002).
