Wardiaceae is a monotypic family of mosses in the subclass Dicranidae. It contains only the species "Wardia hygrometrica", "an aquatic moss endemic to the Western Cape province of South Africa."Hedderson, Terry A., Cymon J. Cox, & J. George Gibbins. 1999. Pylogenetic Relationships of the Wardiaceae (Musci); Evidence from 18s rRNA and rps4 Gene Sequences. "The Bryologist" 102 (1): 26-31.] Because it is an aquatic moss, it was first classified in the Fontinalaceae, but molecular studies have shown that it is more closely related to the Seligeriaceae.
