Tiny gardens of moss and liverworts flourished where spores had drifted in from outside and settled under the warm glow of the cave lights. |
A profusion of mosses, liverworts, lichens and ferns cover the woodland floor and festoon tree trunks and branches. |
It will be no surprise if they are found also in much older lineages of land plants, such as in mosses, ferns, and liverworts. |
The blocks of limestone in the forest's ravine are covered with lush growths of mosses, lichens, liverworts and walking ferns. |
Some of these plants are thalloid much like early liverworts, hornworts and mosses might have been. |
The role of liverworts in Antarctic plant communities is discussed in detail. |
