Cover illustration: In this issue, Li et al. (577-588) reconstructed the ordinal and familial phylogeny of bryophytes using the largest plastid data set available to date. Based on the phylogenetic inference, they proposed seven newly segregated moss families and a revised familialification system for bryophytes that includes 45 orders and 142 families in mosses, 23 orders and 85 families in liverworts, and five orders and five families in hornworts. The cover shows the typical morphologies of seven new families. (Illustrated by Ai-Li Li.)
