Symphyogyna podophylla (also known as Symphyogyna hymenophyllum) is a dendroid liverwort which is widespread in wet forests. It occurs in New Zealand, South America, Southern Africa, and is very common in wet forests of Australia and Tasmania.
It has an erect brownish stalk with a flat frond structure; it closely resembles a different liverwort species, Hymenophyton flabellatum. It can be distinguished from H. flabellatum by the marginal teeth on its thalloid lobes, and the positions of its sex organs.
Most commonly found in wet sclerophyll forest, but is also found in rainforest, fern gullies, and on occasion, dry sclerophyll forest. It can occur in drier habitats where conditions allow, in shady, moist areas such as banks of permanent streams.
