Small greasewort

Small greasewort (Aneura pinguis) is a unique plant to biologists because it is a species complex. This means that it is a distinct species that has significant genetic differences between individual plants. It gets the name "small greasewort" from the fact that it is one of the smaller members of the liverwort family. It is dioecious, meaning that individual specimens are either male or female.
