Pelliaceae is a family of liverworts with only two genera: Pellia (in the temperate Northern Hemisphere) and Noteroclada (in the Southern Hemisphere). The two genera are easily distinguished, not only because they occur in completely separate regions of the world, but because Noteroclada has a leafy appearance, while Pellia is more clearly thallose.
