Liverwort (Conocephalum conicum)

Liverworts are non flowering plants related to the mosses. Though frequently overlooked, perhaps because of their small size, liverworts represent a diverse and ecologically important group of plants. Conocephalum conicum can be identified by its flattened, spotted plant body and a faint sweet scent produced when rubbed between the fingers.
