Information: - Noteroclada is a small genus of liverworts of the Southern Hemisphere. It is classified in order Metzgeriales and is a member of the family Pelliaceae within that order. Unlike "Pellia", the other genus in the family, "Noteroclada" has a leafy appearance. - Jungermanniales is the largest order of liverworts. They are distinctive among the liverworts for having thin leaf-like flaps on either side of the stem. Most other liverworts are thalloid, with no leaves. - Metzgeriales is an order of liverworts. The group is sometimes called the simple thalloid liverworts: "thalloid" because the members lack structures resembling stems or leaves, and "simple" because their tissues are thin and relatively undifferentiated. All species in the order have a small gametophyte stage and a smaller, relatively short-lived, spore-bearing stage. Although these plants are almost entirely restricted to regions with high humidity or readily available moisture, the group as a whole is widely distributed, and occurs on every continent except Antarctica. - Pellia is a small but widespread genus of liverworts in the cool and temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. It is classified in order Metzgeriales and is a member of the family Pelliaceae within that order. - A leaf is an organ of a vascular plant and is the principal lateral appendage of the stem. The leaves and stem together form the shoot. Leaves are collectively referred to as foliage, as in "autumn foliage." - Pelliaceae is a family of liverworts with three genera : Pellia ( in the temperate Northern Hemisphere ) and Noteroclada ( in the Southern Hemisphere ) , and Androcryphia . The three genera are easily distinguished , not only because they occur in completely separate regions of the world , but because Noteroclada has a leafy appearance , while Pellia is more clearly thallose . Androcryphia is much less common , and bears similarities to the foliose members of Jungermanniales . Given the information above, choose from the list below the object entity that exhibits the relation 'parent taxon' with the subject 'pelliaceae'. Choices: - jungermanniales - metzgeriales - pelliaceae - vascular plant
