Distinguishing Features

B. barbata is a large upright-to-arching predominantly 4-lobed leafy liverwort with relatively unbranched, green or green-brown shoots to 8 cm long and 5mm wide. The leaf lobes have rounded tips and are identical in shape and size, uniting at the bases of sinuses that descend to about 1/4 of the leaf’s total length. The leaf is attached obliquely to the stem and underleaves are absent.
