FloraOfNewZealand-Mosses-29-Fife-2016-Timmiaceae
The Timmiaceae consist of the single genus Timmia, which is interpreted in its most recent taxonomic revision to include four species and two infraspecific taxa. Timmia is largely restricted to higher latitudes and montane sites in the northern hemisphere. The only southern hemisphere records of this genus are a handful of collections of T. norvegica from high elevation calcareous rock on the Mt Owen and Mt Arthur Ranges of Nelson L.D. The endostome of the species of Timmia is unique, and consists of 64 often clustered cilia arising from a high basal membrane, and often apically fused. The New Zealand material, however, lacks sporophytes as well as both male and female gametangia. The family is retained in its own order and subclass within the class Bryopsida in some modern classifications.
