Distinguishing Features
Targionia hypophylla is an infrequent and heatseaking (or at least tolerating) complex thalloid liverwort that can form large mats at the base of rocks in scorched, south-facing hillslopes. It is instantly recognizeable by its black, seed-like capsules, which emerge from the underside at the tip of the thallus.
