THUIDIACEAE
       
In Tasmania, the Thuidiaceae consists of 2 genera (Thuidium and Thuidiopsis) and 4 species of mosses. The stems of Thuidiaceae are crowded with leaf-like structures called paraphyllia, which may be mistakened for gemmae or asexual propagules. Distinguishing between genera may require looking at stem details.

A key to the genus and species is in the works.
