Lejeuneaceae

Underleaves lobed
One underleaf per pair of lateral leaves
Leaves attached to stem widely (by numerous cells)
Lobule area much less than 90% of lobe area
Ocelli present in a cell or two near the base of the leaf

 

Leaf lobe apices usually pointing at in the general direction of the shoot or pointing away at a slight angle; underleaf lobes thin and one-cell wide

-Drepanolejeunea

     
Leaf lobe apices abruptly bend outward, hence pointing sharply away from the stem; underleaf lobes wider, giving the underleaf an almost heart-shaped appearance Harpalejeunea
