Zoopsis argentea! One of my favourite leafy liverworts, from the family Lepidoziaceae. This is one of our smallest liverworts in Australia- its lateral leaves are made up of just two cells. It's very common in the rainforests in eastern Vic where it's epiphytic on logs and tree ferns. It's a fun one to show students as it sort of breaks your brain about what constitutes a 'leafy' liverwort.

Working on new things featuring the dumbest (my favourite) types of plants-liverworts. And the dumbest of these plants, Zoopsis argentea. Their 'leaves' are just two individual cells. CELLS.
