Pleurozia is the only genus of liverworts in the family Pleuroziaceae which is classified within the order Jungermanniales. The genus includes eleven species and as a whole is both physically distinctive and widely distributed. The lower leaf lobes of Pleurozia species are fused forming a closed water sac covered by a movable lid similar in structure to those of the angiosperm genus Utricularia.
