Pellia endiviifoliaEndive PelliaSlo.: ?Dat.: Oct. 02. 2010Lat.: 46.03581 Long.: 14.02119Code: Bot_462/2010_IMG2584Habitat: Almost vertical clay road cut flank, turned east, thick soil layer, calcareous ground, fairly humid but sunny place, fully exposed to direct rain, average precipitations 2.000-2.600 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 300 m (980 feet), borderline between prealpine and Dinaric phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil. Place: Near confluence of rivers Idrijca and Ganik, right bank of river Idrijca, close to Spodnja Idrija town, Gorika, Slovenia ECComments: The small yellow-green highly branched branches on much larger basic thallus are characteristic for autumnal form of this liverwort. It was formerly called P. endiviifolia fo. furcigera.Pellia endiviifolia is a dioicous plant. Pictures mainly show female plants and the close-up picture shows two female sexual organs.Ref.:(1) Personal communication dr. Andrej Martini. (2) I.

Family: Metzgeriaceae H.Klinggr.EN: Forked Veilwort, DE: Gewhnliches IgelhaubenmoosSlo.: navadna trakavkaDat.: May 8. 2021Lat.: 46.35933 Long.: 13.70547Code: Bot_1366/2021_DSC2654 Habitat: Steep mountain slope, east aspect; bushes and smaller trees; calcareous, colluvial ground, humid place mostly in shade; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-8 deg C, elevations 535 m (1.750 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: on mosses.Place: Lower Trenta valley, right bank of river Soa; between villages Soa and Trenta; next to the trail from main road to abandoned farmhouse Skokar, Trenta 2, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comment: Metzgeria furcata is a common liverwort in Trenta valley and elsewhere. It grows mainly on bark of deciduous trees, preferring Fraxinus excelsior. Sometimes it can be found also on rocks, soil or mosses. This find is growing on mosses (see Fig.7). The liverwort is splitting strictly dichotomously and the angle between braches is fairly constant around 80 to 90 degrees. Scattered, irregular hairs on the edges of the thallus (Fig 5.) are also characteristic for this species.

Preissia quadrata (Scop.)

Substratum: sandy moist soil.Place: Bovec basin, at the foot of Mt. Polovnike ridge, south of village ezsoa, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comment: Preissia quadrata is a thallose liverwort widely distributed in north hemisphere. As a member of liverworts it possibly belongs to the most early-evolved group of plants colonizing land environments. It is strictly bound to calcareous ground. Thalli produce male and female sexual organs in a form of up to 2 cm long stalks with flat or lobed discs at their apices. Smaller, male stalks are called antheridiophore and taller female stalks archegoniophore arpocephalum. Sometimes both appear on the same thallus (monoicous plants) or thalli have gametophytes that produce only sperm or eggs but never both (dioicous plants). Sperms are distributed by splashing rain drops but they can also swim the whole way to the female receptacles. This is of cause possible only if both male and female receptacles are surrounded by water (Ref.: 2). So water is essential for sexual propagation of these creatures.Ref.:(1) Ian Atherton, Ed., Mosses and Liverworts of Britain and Ireland - a field guide, British Bryological Society (2010), p 257; available at:
