CATAGONIACEAE
 
The Catagoniaceae is represented by a single species Catagonium nitens (previously C. politum) in Tasmania.

This common moss occurs in glossy yellowish-green or dark green patches on rocks or the ground in wet forest and rainforests. The leaves are boat-shaped and overlapping, giving the shoots a flat, plane appearance.
