The Herbertineae is a group of liverworts with isophyllous or subisophyllous gametophytes. Androecia are terminal (becoming intercalary) on the leading leaf axes (Engel & Braggins 2001). Members include the globally distributed genus Herbertus with erect growth form, ventral intercalary branching, and transversely inserted, deeply bifid leaves with a conspicuous vitta.
