Abstract
The synapotypic feature of seriate leaf cell papillae positioned on cell lumina and directed over the longitudinal cross walls alliesBryowijkia with the Trachypodaceae. The Hedwigiaceae consist of four closely related genera, and excludesRhacocarpus, a genus best placed in its own family, the Rhacocarpaceae. These taxa all belong in the Leucodontineae (Isobryales) and are not related to either the Grimmiales or the Orthotrichales.
