general taxon notes:
A genus of two species, N. aztecorum H. Rob.& Delgad. is known from central Mexico and from southern Africa, and N. turgida (Mitt.) H. Rob. & Delgad. is presently known from the Central and Southern Andes. The stems of Neosharpiella have been characterized as a fragile hyaline rhizome that gives rise to the observable "leafy plants” (Fife 1980); additional characters of the genus included the obtuse to acute oblong leaves, absence or presents of a short costa, rather elongate seta, conic to short-rostrate operculum, and cucullate calyptra.
