Riccia subbifurca
Least crystalwort is a tiny liverwort (a non-flowering moss-like plant) that forms small flat mats or rosettes, usually under 15 mm across, in damp, bare ground. It is a wild species of the British Isles and Turkey rather than a garden plant, so care is about the damp, open habitat it needs.
Riccia subbifurca, commonly known as least crystalwort, is a species of Liverwort that belongs to the family Ricciaceae. It is mainly found in the British Isles, however it has also been found in Turkey.
