	Mizutania ''Mizutania'' is a genus of liverworts restricted to tropical Asia, and contains a single species ''Mizutania riccardioides''. It is classified in the order Jungermanniales and is a member of the family Calypogeiaceae within that order. The genus name of ''Mizutania'' is in honour of Masami Mizutani (b.1930), who was a Japanese botanist (Bryology), who worked at the Hattori Botanical Laboratory. The genus was circumscribed In geometry, a circumscribed circle for a set of points is a circle passing through each of them. Such a circle is said to ''circumscribe'' the points or a polygon formed from them; such a polygon is said to be ''inscribed'' in the circle. * Circum ... by Tatsuwo Furuki and Zennoske Iwatsuki in J. Hattori Bot. Lab. vol.67 on pages 291 and 294 in 1989. They placed it in the monotypic family Mizutaniaceae.

	Marchantiophyta Liverworts are a group of non-vascular plant, non-vascular embryophyte, land plants forming the division Marchantiophyta (). They may also be referred to as hepatics. Like mosses and hornworts, they have a gametophyte-dominant life cycle, in which cells of the plant carry only a single set of genetic information. The division name was derived from the genus name ''Marchantia'', named after his father by French botanist Jean Marchant. It is estimated that there are about 9000 species of liverworts. Some of the more familiar species grow as a flattened leafless thallus, but most species are leafy with a form very much like a flattened moss. Leafy species can be distinguished from the apparently similar mosses on the basis of a number of features, including their single-celled rhizoids. Leafy liverworts also differ from most (but not all) mosses in that their leaves never have a costa (botany), costa (present in many mosses) and may bear marginal cilia (botany), cilia (very rare i ...

	Calcifuge A calcifuge is a plant that does not tolerate alkaline (basic) soil. The word is derived from the Latin 'to flee from chalk'. These plants are also described as ericaceous, as the prototypical calcifuge is the genus '' Erica'' (heaths). It is not the presence of carbonate or hydroxide ions ''per se'' that these plants cannot tolerate, but the fact that under alkaline conditions, iron becomes less soluble. Consequently, calcifuges grown on alkaline soils often develop the symptoms of iron deficiency, ''i.e.'' interveinal chlorosis of new growth. There are many horticultural plants which are calcifuges, most of which require an 'ericaceous' compost with a low pH, composed principally of ''Sphagnum'' moss peat. Alternatively sulphur chips may be used to lower soil pH. A plant that thrives in lime-rich soils is known as a calcicole.
