About

Clasmatocolea vermicularis is a species of liverwort belonging to the family Lophocoleaceae.

A study in tropical Ecuador found that Clasmatocolea vermicularis was typically not found in urban environments despite being found in a nearby pristine location, suggesting that the species is sensitive to anthropogenic effects such as the presence of wastewater and heavy metal pollution.
