Dumortieraceae

Dumortieraceae comprises liverworts with a robust, often leafy appearance, distinguished by their large, lobed leaves which assist in moisture retention. Thriving in damp, shaded environments, their unique morphology aids in trapping water and nutrients vital for survival in such habitats. The plant's distinctively textured surface not only adds visual interest but also serves practical ecological functions.
