Clevea nana is a complex thallous liverwort with hyaline or purplish appendages on the ventral scales that often form
conspicuous clusters. The scales project beyond the margin of the thallous. This specimen was found in the crevice of coarse
talus by Seville Flowers in 1963.
Many thanks to the University of Colorado Herbarium (COLO), Erin Tripp and Dina Clark for permitting to visit and
