Still, some liverworts with a thallus do have a cuticle (for example the Marchantia and Plagiochasma genuses). Similarly to vascular plants, they’re composed of fatty acids and esters in the 20-28 carbon chain length, assembled by "LTPs" (lipid transfer proteins, see below)
#PlantADay 28. For aquatic #liverworts like Ricciocarpos natans, the main source of danger doesn't come from above but instead from nibbling fish below. These plants produce purple, tentacle-like scales that extend into the depths and are thought to deter potential predators.
What fascinates me about plants? It’s understanding how plants and microbes adapted throughout time, witnessing the intensity and intimacy of their interactions. Here: the liverwort Marchantia (cyan) colonised by a symbiotic fungus (magenta) #FoPD22 #PlantDay @slcuplants

Conocephalum conicum also known as The Great Scented Liverwort. It’s the forage plant for the larval stage of the Epimartyria pardella moth and grows here at Sunnyhill Farm #1000postcards #liverworts #liverwort #botanicalArt #botanical #pembrokeshire
Contemplating smaller things this week as I delve into the miniature world of mosses,lichens & liverworts.I am reminded of Albrecht Durers’magical work “The greatest piece of turf”a very hard act to follow! #1000Postcards #moss #liverworts #biodiversity #botanical #Durer
And the last bryophyte of the series, possibly my favorite of the lot: a great scented liverwort with an Epimartyria moth and a yellow-spotted millipede. #sciart #SciArtTweetstorm
