Pallavicinia lyellii
Also called Ribbonwort, Lyell's Ribbonwort
Veilwort (Pallavicinia lyellii) is a thalloid liverwort, a small non-flowering moss-like plant that forms flat, ribbon-like mats on moist rock and soil. It is a wild bryophyte rather than a garden plant, so it needs damp, shaded, humid conditions rather than conventional care.
Pallavicinia lyellii, the ribbonwort or veilwort, is a dioicous bryophyte plant in the liverwort family Pallaviciniaceae. Often seen in moist situations on rocks and soil, with a worldwide distribution.
