Substratum: bark of Fagus sylvatica intermixed with other mosses; only on northeast side of the trunk.Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, right bank of river Soa, right bank of Skokar's ravine above main road Bovec - Vri; East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments (pertain to pictures in Flicker album Metzgeria-furcata_I): Metzgeria furcatais a very common liverwort in Trenta valley. It can be recognized by +/- flat (when moist!), thin, only one cell thick, and somewhat translucent, about 1 mm wide thallus lobes. Their margins are not curved down and mostly hairless. However, lobes with considerable number of hairs are also quite frequent. So, one has to inspect several of them to get an overall impression. In any case, there are far less hairs present than with a very similar 'sister' species Metzgeria conjugata. Metzgeria furcata thrives mostly on tree bark, but it can be found also on ground or on rocks.Ref.: (1) Paton, J.A., The Liverwort Flora of the British Isles, Brill, Leiden, Boston (2011), p 552.(2) Glime, J.

Substratum: bark of Fagus sylvatica intermixed with other mosses; only on northeast side of the trunk.Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, right bank of river Soa, right bank of Skokar's ravine above main road Bovec - Vri; East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments (pertain to pictures in Flicker album Metzgeria-furcata_I): Metzgeria furcatais a very common liverwort in Trenta valley. It can be recognized by +/- flat (when moist!), thin, only one cell thick, and somewhat translucent, about 1 mm wide thallus lobes. Their margins are not curved down and mostly hairless. However, lobes with considerable number of hairs are also quite frequent. So, one has to inspect several of them to get an overall impression. In any case, there are far less hairs present than with a very similar 'sister' species Metzgeria conjugata. Metzgeria furcata thrives mostly on tree bark, but it can be found also on ground or on rocks.Ref.: (1) Paton, J.A., The Liverwort Flora of the British Isles, Brill, Leiden, Boston (2011), p 552.(2) Glime, J.
