Non-vascular plant. Appearance. Mosses are examples of non-vascular plants. Non-vascular plants are plants without a vascular system consisting of xylem and phloem. Instead, they may possess simpler tissues that have specialized functions for the internal transport of water. [citation needed] Non-vascular plants include two distantly related ...
Conocephalum is a genus of complex thalloid liverworts in the order Marchantiales and is the only extant genus in the family Conocephalaceae. [ 1 ][ 2 ] Some species of Conocephalum are assigned to the Conocephalum conicum complex, which includes several cryptic species. [ 1 ]Conocephalum species are large liverworts with distinct patterns on ...
Hornwort. Phaeoceros laevis (L.) Prosk. see Classification. Hornworts are a group of non-vascular Embryophytes (land plants) constituting the division Anthocerotophyta (/ ˌænθoʊˌsɛrəˈtɒfətə, - təˈfaɪtə /). The common name refers to the elongated horn-like structure, which is the sporophyte.
Hepatica (hepatica, [2] liverleaf, [3] or liverwort) [4] is a genus of herbaceous perennials in the buttercup family, native to central and northern Europe, Asia and eastern North America. Some botanists include Hepatica within a wider interpretation of Anemone .
