Taxonomy
The monogeneric family Pulchrinodaceae was erected by Quandt et al. (2007) to accommodate the genus Pulchrinodus, which was erected 20 years earlier by Allen (1987). The family and the genus are both monotypic and restricted to Australasia. The rationale for establishing the family is based primarily on molecular data presented in an earlier paper (Stech et al. 2003). The family is accepted by Goffinet et al. (2009), and their treatment, placing the family in the Bryales, is followed here.
