This rather rare oceanic liverwort was seen on the banks of the Claggain river during the recent Summer meeting on Islay. It is large and differs from other thallose liverworts also found in this habitat by having no air pores on its surface, and having bristly hairs along the thallus margins – so there should be no problem identifying it if you are lucky enough to see it!
