From HandWiki

The Hookeriaceae is a family of mainly tropical mosses of the order Hookeriales.

One species of the family is present in the UK.[1]

Genera

There are only two genera in the family:[2]

The validity of including Crossomitrium in the Hookeriaceae is uncertain; it may warrant segregation in a family of its own.[3][4]
