Etymology

Jungermanniales comes from the name Jungermann and the ending -ales, which shows it is the name of a plant order. The surname Jungermann is German and means 'young man', so you can picture a 'young man' finding tiny liverworts. That's why Jungermanniales refers to a whole order of mainly tropical, non-vascular plants.
