Review & Description
Liverworts the First land plants
US molecular botanists analysed the mitochondrial DNA of 352 land plants and concluded in 1998 that liverworts were the first land plants to evolve, around 475 million years ago.
The Liverwort is a nonvascular plant (with no veins to carry water and food), related to hornworts and mosses; it is found growing in damp places. (Class Hepaticae, order Bryophyta.)
The plant exists in two different reproductive forms, sexual and asexual, which appear alternately (see alternation of generations). The main sexual form consists of a plant body, or thallus, which may be flat, green, and lobed like a small leaf, or leafy and mosslike. The asexual, spore-bearing form is smaller, typically parasitic on the thallus, and produces a capsule from which spores are scattered.
A great novelty houseplant or in a terrarium or accenting a bonsai. Prefers bright light and moisture. Keep moist at all times. Very easy to grow!
