1. Targonia hypophylla
 
 
TARGONIACEAE
     
In Tasmania, the Targoniaceae is represented by the single species Targonia hypophylla. T. hypophylla is a thallose liverwort growing on soil and rock in damp microsites in otherwise dry habitats. When fertile, the black pouch-like capsules on the apex of the thallus are unmistakable. In a sterile state however, the species closely resembles Asterella drummondii.
