Pleuroziais the onlygenusofliverwortsin thefamilyPleuroziaceae,which is now classified in its own orderPleuroziales,but was previously included in a broader circumscription of theJungermanniales.[3]The genus includes twelve species,[4][5]and as a whole is both physically distinctive and widely distributed.[6]
The lower leaf lobes ofPleuroziaspecies are fused, forming a closed water sac covered by a movable lid similar in structure to those of theangiospermgenusUtricularia.These sacs were assumed to play a role in water storage, but a 2005 study onPleurozia purpureafound that the sacs attract and trapciliates,much in the same way asUtricularia.Observations of plantsin situalso revealed a large number of trapped prey within the sacs, suggesting that the species in this genus obtain some benefit from acarnivoroushabit. AfterColura,this was the second report of zoophagy among the liverworts.[7]
