Cephaloziella divaricata is a minute leafy liverwort. The leaves insert in a transverse, succubus fashion and are distant along the stem. The leaves are bilobed with spreading, triangular lobes that have acute apices. There are large underleaves. The cell walls are thin and the cells contain tiny oil bodies. Cephaloziella divaricata is found alongside seasonal streambeds in the ponderosa forest in the Gila. Many thanks to Jiri Vana for identifying this liverwort for us.
