Lejeuneaceae

Underleaves lobed
One underleaf per pair of lateral leaves
Leaves attached to stem widely (by numerous cells)

 

Lobule area large relative to lobe, very little lobe area viewable when the leaves are viewed under the microscope); apical tooth of lobule roughly at roughly angles to the stem 

Metalejeunea

     
Lobule prominent but the area never attaining as much as 90% of the lobe  area (i.e a large proportion of lobe viewable when shoots are viewed ventrally)
