There are several synonyms that have been used to refer to this family, including Sphaerocarpaceae and Arctoastraceae. These mosses are typically found in aquatic or moist habitats and have a unique reproductive system that involves the production of gemmae, which are small, asexual propagules that can quickly establish new colonies.
