Tritomaria ferruginea is a small, rusty-green liverwort (a non-flowering bryophyte) from the high eastern Himalayas, listed as endangered. It is not a plant commonly grown by home gardeners, and it needs cool, damp, high-altitude conditions.
Tritomaria ferruginea is a species of liverwort in the family Lophoziaceae. It is an endangered species endemic to the eastern Himalayas.
Endemic to the temperate eastern Himalayas, Tritomaria ferruginea is known from Bhutan, India (Sikkim), and Nepal. In western Bhutan it has been found growing in damp coniferous forests dominated Abies and Juniperus at 3,440 m (11,290 ft) above sea level, while in India it has been found growing in both moorland and on rocky river banks at altitudes of 4,070–4,075 m (13,353–13,369 ft) above sea level. In Nepal it has been found growing in Rhododendron forests and alpine meadows at around 4,000 m (13,000 ft) above sea level, in coniferous forests at 3,610 m (11,840 ft) above sea level, and alongside a rocky stream at 4,020 m (13,190 ft) above sea level.
