Jungermanniales is the largestorder ofliverworts. They are distinctive among the liverworts for having thinleaf-like flaps on either side of the stem. Most other liverworts arethalloid, with no leaves. Due to theirdorsiventral organization and scale-like, overlapping leaves, the Jungermanniales are sometimes called "scale-mosses".[3]
