Riccia lamellosa is a complex thallous liverwort typically found growing on soil.
Riccia lamellosa is most easily recognized by the large, translucent white scales that
are evident well beyond the margins of the deeply centrally-channeled thallus.
Many thanks to the University of Colorado Herbarium (COLO), Erin Tripp, and Dina Clark for permitting us to photograph
