Haplomitriopsida is a newly recognized class of liverworts comprising fifteen species in three genera. Recent cladistic analyses of nuclear, mitochondrial, and plastid gene sequences place this monophyletic group as the basal sister group to all other liverworts.[1][2][3][4] The group thus provides a unique insight into the early evolution of liverworts in particular and of land plants in general.
