shiny film liverwort
Shiny film liverwort is a distinctive fern ally, bearing delicate, fan-shaped, translucent green fronds that emerge from thin, creeping rhizomes. Thriving in humid, shaded habitats such as rainforest floors, this plant displays a preference for moist, well-drained soil. Its flat, almost circular fronds display a simple yet elegant architecture, aiding in water retention and maximizing photosynthetic efficiency in low-light environments.
