Both gametangia form from a stereotyped series of divisions of a terminal apical cell, unlike the gametangia of liverworts and hornworts. |
Some of these plants are thalloid much like early liverworts, hornworts and mosses might have been. |
Tiny gardens of moss and liverworts flourished where spores had drifted in from outside and settled under the warm glow of the cave lights. |
The blocks of limestone in the forest's ravine are covered with lush growths of mosses, lichens, liverworts and walking ferns. |
Endophytes have turned up in every plant tested, from Douglas firs and grasses to mosses and liverworts, says Arnold. |
The first two miles are on public rights of way, down a lovely valley with a pretty blossomed beck that cascades through rocks plastered with liverworts. |
