Noteroclada is a small genus of liverworts of the Southern Hemisphere. It is classified in order Pelliales and is the only genus in the family Noterocladaceae within that order. Unlike Pellia, the other genus in the order, Noteroclada has a leafy appearance.
The species Noteroclada confluens is known primarily from the southern regions of South America, although it has been reported as far north as Costa Rica,Schuster, Rudolf M. The Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of North America, volume V, pages 434-435. (New York: Columbia University Press, 1992). and there is a report from New Zealand.Allison, K. W. & John Child. The Liverworts of New Zealand, page 233. (Dunedin: University of Otago Press, 1975). A possible second species is known from South Africa.Schuster, Rudolf M. The Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of North America, volume V, pages 434-435. (New York: Columbia University Press, 1992).
