--><p>Rhizogoniaceae is distinguished by the position of the sporophytes in the basal half or at the base of the erect stems. In this treatment a somewhat traditional circumscription of Rhizogoniaceae has been maintained. A narrower concept of the family is given by B. Goffinet et al. (2008) recognizing five genera.</p>
