	Sphaerocarpos Muccilloi ''Sphaerocarpos muccilloi'' is a species of liverwort in the family Sphaerocarpaceae. Description ''Sphaerocarpos muccilloi'' grows in pale green mats. The thallus tissue is around five cells thick towards the center of the plant, but becomes as thin as one cell towards the edges. Those cells towards the edges are square or rectangular in shape, and are 56–108 micrometers (µm) long by 30–50 µm wide. The involucre which protects the plant's inflorescence is aggregate and oval- or cylindrical-shaped. It has a length of 1–2 millimeters (mm) and the opening is 170–280 µm wide.Vianna, 58. Dioecy ''S. muccilloi'' is a dioecious species, which means individual plants will have either male or female reproductive organs instead of both. The female plants grow roughly in a circular shape and are about 5–8 mm long. They are lobed, and the lobes grow upwards somewhat, with many rhizoids on their undersides. The male plants are more oval-shaped and also lobed. They are purp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Sphaerocarpos Texanus ''Sphaerocarpos texanus'', the Texas balloonwort, is a species of liverwort in the Sphaerocarpaceae family, found in the Americas, northern Africa and Europe. Description ''Sphaerocarpos texanus'' are small, thalloid, dioecious liverworts. The species is sexually dimorphic, with male plants usually 3–5 mm in diameter, females up to 12 mm in diameter. Both male (bearing antheridia) and female (bearing archegonia) plants are bright green, with the thallus branching up to several times. The plant is a winter annual, appearing in autumn and dying in spring. Notably, the spores occur in sets of four, called tetrads. Unlike most other species of liverwort, the spores stay in these tetrads until they germinate. Habitat The plant is found on flat, lightly shaded soil. Usually by roadsides. Distribution ''Sphaerocarpos texanus'' has a wide range, probably the widest of any species in its genus. It has been found on several continents, in the United States Th ...
