Frullania eboracensis is a liverwort that is usually found on bark. It is often reddish-brown
in color but can be green. It is medium-sized for a liverwort and looks like India ink markings when on light
colored bark. It has entire leaf margins and ventral lobules that are distinctive and helmet shaped (galeate).
The underleaves are bilobed (notched) and are less than twice the width of the stem.
