Timmiellaceae

Timmiellaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae). It contains two genera, "Luisierella" and "Timmiella", that were formerly place in family Pottiaceae.
Taxonomy.
The genera "Luisierella" and "Timmiella" have been traditionally placed in family Pottiaceae in order Pottiales. However, phylogenetic analyses have found these genera to form a clade, as part of a protohaplolepidous grade of early branching lineages in Dicranidae, for which the family Timmiellaceae was erected. The family is not currently assigned to an order, although it may be sister to family Distichiaceae.
