Bazzania trilobata (L.) Gray, syn.: Mastigobryum trilobatum (L.) Nees, Pleuroschisma trilobatum (L.)

Substratum: humus layer on roots of a Picea abies stump in its initial stage of disintegration and on soil among the roots.Place: Upper Trenta valley, Zapodn place, right bank of (dry) Soa river bed, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comments (pertains to pictures in the Flicker album Bazzania trilobata): Bazzania trilobata is a relatively common and among the largest and most noticeable leafy liverworts. Its quite large mats can be found on boggy soils, forest ground, rotten logs, and at the bases of trees. It is a widespread species. Most of others in this genus are more typical of tropical environments. Bazzania trilobata can be recognized by a special arrangement of its leaves. As seen in my close-up photos, the upper edges of the leaves overlap the lower edges of the leaves above them. This is so called incubous leaf arrangement. Most of other leafy liverworts have the opposite arrangement, succubous, where the lower edges of the leaves overlap the upper edges of the leaves below them. Liverworts superficially look similar to mosses. However, apart to other less conspicuous differences, they have differently arranged leaves on the stem. Liverwort leaves are usually arranged in two lateral ranks with a third row of usually much smaller and differently shaped leaves on the back side of the stem (see picture 7a.). Moss leaves have usually a spiral arrangement. If not so, they always lack the third row of the leaves.Ref.:(1) Ian Atherton, Ed., Mosses and Liverworts of Britain and Ireland - a field guide, British Bryological Society (2010), p82. (2) V.

Scapania undulata (L.) Dum., syn.: Scapania dentata Dum., Scapania intermedia (Husn.) Pears., Scapania heterophylla M. Howe, Scapania oakesii Austin.Family: ScapaniaceaeEN: Water Earwort, DE: Bach-SpatenmoosSlo.: no name fundDat.: Feb. 29. 2022Lat.: 46.35859 Long.: 13.70502Code: Bot_1437/2022_DSC5846Habitat: river bank; over flooded during river high water levels; humid ground and air; mostly in shade; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-8 deg C, elevations 535 m (1.750 feet), Alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: sandy humus layer on calcareous boulderPlace: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, left bank of river Soa, at the upper entrance into Matev's gorge, about 400 m downstream from Otokar farmhouse, Trenta 4, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia. Comments (pertain to pictures in Flicker album Scapania undulata): Scapania undulata is a relatively common liverwort and probably the most numerous of all Scapania species. There exist several species in this genus, which are similar and not always easy to determined. Scapania undulata can be found mainly on rocks and boulders on the banks of fast flowing rivers, sometimes also under water. This find fits well to the traits of Scapania undulata: habitat is typical, taking into the account its very high variability, dimensions, shape and dentations of the leaves, absence of ventral side third row of leaves, decurrent ventral leaf lobes attachment to the stem and much less decurrent of the dorsal lobes, short and +/- strait keel (fold separating dorsal and ventral lobes of the leaf)), uniform dimensions of leaf cells all over the leaf, circularly arranged cells near leaf tip, leaf cell dimensions, oil bodies and cell walls thickness, all fit reasonably to the descriptions in the literature. What doesn't fit my expectations is the fact, that these plants were sterile, while Scapania undulata should be usually fertile according to literature. I visited this site three times in 2022 and 2023 and never found a single fertile shot. Also, according to Martini (2011) the species has not been found yet in the alpine phytogeographical region in Slovenia.

Substratum: sandy humus layer on calcareous boulderPlace: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, left bank of river Soa, at the upper entrance into Matev's gorge, about 400 m downstream from Otokar farmhouse, Trenta 4, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia. Comments (pertain to pictures in Flicker album Scapania undulata): Scapania undulata is a relatively common liverwort and probably the most numerous of all Scapania species. There exist several species in this genus, which are similar and not always easy to determined. Scapania undulata can be found mainly on rocks and boulders on the banks of fast flowing rivers, sometimes also under water. This find fits well to the traits of Scapania undulata: habitat is typical, taking into the account its very high variability, dimensions, shape and dentations of the leaves, absence of ventral side third row of leaves, decurrent ventral leaf lobes attachment to the stem and much less decurrent of the dorsal lobes, short and +/- strait keel (fold separating dorsal and ventral lobes of the leaf)), uniform dimensions of leaf cells all over the leaf, circularly arranged cells near leaf tip, leaf cell dimensions, oil bodies and cell walls thickness, all fit reasonably to the descriptions in the literature. What doesn't fit my expectations is the fact, that these plants were sterile, while Scapania undulata should be usually fertile according to literature.

Scapania undulata (L.) Dum., syn.: Scapania dentata Dum., Scapania intermedia (Husn.) Pears., Scapania heterophylla M. Howe, Scapania oakesii Austin.Family: ScapaniaceaeEN: Water Earwort, DE: Bach-SpatenmoosSlo.: no name fundDat.: Feb. 26. 2022Lat.: 46.35859 Long.: 13.70502Code: Bot_1437/2022_DSC5846Habitat: river bank; over flooded during river high water levels; humid ground and air; mostly in shade; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-8 deg C, elevations 535 m (1.750 feet), Alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: sandy humus layer on calcareous boulderPlace: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, left bank of river Soa, at the upper entrance into Matev's gorge, about 400 m downstream from Otokar farmhouse, Trenta 4, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia. Comments (pertain to pictures in Flicker album Scapania undulata): Scapania undulata is a relatively common liverwort and probably the most numerous of all Scapania species. There exist several species in this genus, which are similar and not always easy to determined. Scapania undulata can be found mainly on rocks and boulders on the banks of fast flowing rivers, sometimes also under water. This find fits well to the traits of Scapania undulata: habitat is typical, taking into the account its very high variability, dimensions, shape and dentations of the leaves, absence of ventral side third row of leaves, decurrent ventral leaf lobes attachment to the stem and much less decurrent of the dorsal lobes, short and +/- strait keel (fold separating dorsal and ventral lobes of the leaf)), uniform dimensions of leaf cells all over the leaf, circularly arranged cells near leaf tip, leaf cell dimensions, oil bodies and cell walls thickness, all fit reasonably to the descriptions in the literature. What doesn't fit my expectations is the fact, that these plants were sterile, while Scapania undulata should be usually fertile according to literature. I visited this site three times in 2022 and 2023 and never found a single fertile shot. Also, according to Martini (2011) the species has not been found yet in the alpine phytogeographical region in Slovenia. However, following a recent key of genus Scapania published by Urmi (2020) determination sims correct.Ref.:(1) Smith A.J.E., The Liverworts of Britain & Ireland, Cambridge University Press (1991), p 188.(2) Paton, J.A., The Liverwort Flora of the British Isles, Brill, Leiden, Boston (2011), p 371.(3) Ian Atherton, (ed.), Mosses and Liverworts of Britain and Ireland - a field guide, British Bryological Society (2010), p 175.(4)
