The Marchantiophyta (/ mɑːrˌkæntiˈɒfətə, - oʊˈfaɪtə / ⓘ) are a division of non-vascular land plants commonly referred to as hepatics or liverworts. Like mosses and hornworts, they have a gametophyte -dominant life cycle, in which cells of the plant carry only a single set of genetic information. It is estimated that there are ...
Bryophytes (/ ˈbraɪ.əˌfaɪts /) [ 1 ] are a group of land plants (embryophytes), sometimes treated as a taxonomic division, that contains three groups of non-vascular land plants: the liverworts, hornworts, and mosses. [ 2 ] In the strict sense, the division Bryophyta consists of the mosses only. Bryophytes are characteristically limited in ...
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 ...
Mosses are small, non-vascular flowerless plants in the taxonomic division Bryophyta (/ braɪˈɒfətə /, [3] / ˌbraɪ.əˈfaɪtə /) sensu stricto. Bryophyta (sensu lato, Schimp. 1879 [4]) may also refer to the parent group bryophytes, which comprise liverworts, mosses, and hornworts. [5] Mosses typically form dense green clumps or mats ...
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.
Marchantiales is an order of thallose liverworts (also known as "complex thalloid liverworts") that includes species like Marchantia polymorpha, a widespread plant often found beside rivers, and Lunularia cruciata, a common and often troublesome weed in moist, temperate gardens and greenhouses.
Marchantia is a genus of liverworts in the family Marchantiaceae and the order Marchantiales. The thallus of Marchantia shows differentiation into two layers: an upper photosynthetic layer with a well-defined upper epidermis with pores and a lower storage layer. The thallus features tiny cup-like structures called gemma cups, containing gemmae ...
Riccia is a genus of liverworts in the order Marchantiales. [1]These plants are small and thalloid, i.e. not differentiated into root, stem and leaf.Depending on species, the thallus may be strap-shaped and about 0.5 to 4 mm wide with dichotomous branches or may form rosettes or hemirosettes up to 3 cm in diameter, that may be gregarious and form intricate mats.
