the flora).</p><!-- --><p>Species of Hookeria are readily separated from other pleurocarpous mosses in the flora area by their absence of costa, complete lack of border, and very large laminal cells that are observable with a hand lens. When moistened, the plants appear almost transparent or pellucid. One species of Hookeria has a tropical distribution but also occurs in the temperate zone; the other is a north temperate species of both the New and Old Worlds.</p> |tables= |references= }}<!-- --><div class="treatment-key"> ==Key== <div class="treatment-key-group"> {| class="wikitable fna-keytable" |-id=key-0-1 |1 |Leaf apices acute; laminal cells (except rhizoid initials at apex) ± homogeneous; marginal laminal cells narrower than medial cells. |[[Hookeria acutifolia|Hookeria acutifolia]] |-id=key-0-1 |1 |Leaf apices obtuse; laminal cells with scattered pairs of smaller cells, one relatively smaller and quadrate, resembling rhizoid initials at apex; marginal laminal cell width equal to medial cells. |[[Hookeria lucens|Hookeria lucens]] |} </div></div><!-- -->{{#Taxon: name=Hookeria |authority=Smith |rank=genus |parent rank=family |synonyms= |basionyms= |family=Hookeriaceae |distribution=North America;Mexico;West Indies;Central America;South America;Eurasia;Africa;Atlantic Islands;Pacific Islands |reference=None |publication title=Trans.
