It will be difficult for the beginner to recognize the Horned Liverworts without capsules, but with a compound microscope they are easily known by the single large chlorophyll grain in each cell.

It will be difficult for the beginner to recognize the Horned Liverworts without capsules, but with a compound microscope they are easily known by the single large chlorophyll grain in each cell. This character is very plainly seen with the high power hand-lens, the whole tissue of the thallus ap- pearing filled with large green balls, quite unlike the diflfused green of other plants. In fruit, the peculiar capsule, which is responsible for the common name, is unmistakable. It splits into two halves like a mustard pod and the columella remaining in the center increases the ANTHOCEROS. We have two species that are fairly common on moist soil and are often found growing together. A. LAEvis L., the Yellow Spored Anthoceros, is known by its brownish or yellowish capsules and yellow spores. A. puNCTATus h; the Black Spored Anthoceros, has both capsules and spores black. The spores of both species mature in autumn (). Figure 76. Ricciocarpiis nutans (After Bischoff.) A & B. Plants natural size. C.
