Snakeskin Liverwort

This is likely the snakeskin liverwort, Conocephalum. However, mosses and liverworts (bryophytes) are tough to ID accurately unless one is a Bryologist.

Thanks for the mini-lesson on liverworts ---- I had no idea. I think your photo should be put in a biology text book, It's really interesting.

looks a bit spongey and flows like lava creating a sort of mini-landscape...bryologist, now there's a title with resonance..

Christine, you are a great artist and scientific reporter. You made me discover so many new things. This is beautifull, looks like a mas of unicellular beings. V

interesting detail

Well, this is another new insight into plant life. A beautifully clear image it is, and again such a wealth of information, so well explained and detailed. Thank you. You must create a book!

This is very interesting. It does have a pattern like a snakeskin.
Mieke WA Minkjan14-Nov-2011 07:25
I had to read it twice to understand to what I have to look
it is the plant and not the little orange thing in the middle of it
great capture Christine and I learned something new
