Frillworts (Fossombronia)

Frillworts

Frillworts thrives in damp, often shaded environments, such as the margins of streams or moist forest floors. This liverwort forms delicate, green mats with flattened, lobed bodies that help in moisture absorption and retention. Its distinctive spore capsules, elevated on slender stalks, release spores that adapt well to fluctuating watery habitats.
