More recently, phylogenetic research has questioned whether the bryophytes form a monophyletic group and thus whether they should form a single taxon. A broad consensus among systematists has recently emerged that bryophytes as a whole are not a natural group (i.e. are paraphyletic), although each of the three extant (living) groups is monophyletic.[3][4] The three lineages are Marchantiophyta (liverworts), Bryophyta (mosses) and Anthocerotophyta (hornworts).[5] The vascular plants or tracheophytes are the fourth lineage of living land plants. Currently there is some uncertainty over the exact evolutionary relationships among these four lineages, although this may be nearing resolution as data on a variety of coding and non-coding DNA sequences from all three genomes (chloroplast, mitochondrion and nucleus) in addition to protein sequences are brought to bear on the problem.[6] Although a 2005 study supported the traditional view that the bryophytes form a monophyletic group,[7] the preponderance of currently available evidence suggests that the hornworts are sister to vascular plants and liverworts are sister to all other land plants, as shown in the cladogram below.
