Lophocolea semiteres
Also called Flat Fern Liverwort
Lophocolea semiteres, sometimes known as the southern crestwort, is a species of liverwort native to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America, and a number of sub-Antarctic Islands.
The native range of Lophocolea semiteres is pan-south-temperate. In New Zealand, it is found on the main North, South, and Stewart Islands, as well as the offshore Campbell, Chatham, and Kermadec Islands. It grows in all states and territories of Australia, other than the Northern Territory and Queensland. The type locality of the species is Teufelsberg, in southern Africa. L. semiteres also occurs in southern South America and southern temperate oceanic islands. It has been introduced to Europe and the British Isles and is there considered an invasive species.
