Dumortiera (Dumortiera)

Dumortiera

Dumortiera is notable for its lush, liverwort structure thriving in moist, shaded environments. The plant exhibits ribbon-like, green thalli that hug the ground, facilitating robust water absorption essential for survival in its damp habitats. This ground-layer adaptation not only aids in nutrient absorption but also anchors dumortiera securely in its ecosystem.
