Bifid Crestwort

Bifid Crestwort

Lophocolea cuspidata
Scale 5 Diat: photosynthetic , Hierachy 1

FACT: The lateral leaves of this liverwort are shallowly bilobed and sharply pointed, appearing as devil’s horns. Once a sporophyte emerges from perianth, the sporangium will open via four lines of dehiscence to release spores, a common characteristic in this class of bryophytes.
