Vandiemenia (Metzgeriaceae)  
       
Vandiemenia is a thallose liverwort represented by a single species V. ratkowskiana. It was initially placed in it's own family Vandiemeniaceae, based on a collection of male plants found on Mt Wellington in the 1980s. A recent re-evaluation of the species based on a recent collection of female plants around the Hastings Cave Reserve has shown that the species is better placed within the Metzgeriaceae.
