Metzgeria furcata (L.) Dumort., syn.: Jungermannia furcata L.. Metzgeria glabra Raddi, Herverus furcatus (L.) Gray, Fasciola furcata (L.) Dumort., Blasia furcata (L.) Fr.. Family: Metzgeriaceae H.Klinggr.EN: Forked Veilwort, DE: Gewhnliches IgelhaubenmoosSlo.: navadna trakavkaDat.: May 8. 2021Lat.: 46.35933 Long.: 13.70547Code: Bot_1366/2021_DSC2654 Habitat: Steep mountain slope, east aspect; bushes and smaller trees; calcareous, colluvial ground, humid place mostly in shade; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-8 deg C, elevations 535 m (1.750 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: on mosses.Place: Lower Trenta valley, right bank of river Soa; between villages Soa and Trenta; next to the trail from main road to abandoned farmhouse Skokar, Trenta 2, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comment: Metzgeria furcata is a common liverwort in Trenta valley and elsewhere. It grows mainly on bark of deciduous trees, preferring Fraxinus excelsior. Sometimes it can be found also on rocks, soil or mosses. This find is growing on mosses (see Fig.7). The liverwort is splitting strictly dichotomously and the angle between braches is fairly constant around 80 to 90 degrees. Scattered, irregular hairs on the edges of the thallus (Fig 5.) are also characteristic for this species.

Substratum: humus layer on roots of a Picea abies stump in its initial stage of disintegration and on soil among the roots.Place: Upper Trenta valley, Zapodn place, right bank of (dry) Soa river bed, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comments (pertains to pictures in the Flicker album Bazzania trilobata): Bazzania trilobata is a relatively common and among the largest and most noticeable leafy liverworts. Its quite large mats can be found on boggy soils, forest ground, rotten logs, and at the bases of trees. It is a widespread species. Most of others in this genus are more typical of tropical environments. Bazzania trilobata can be recognized by a special arrangement of its leaves. As seen in my close-up photos, the upper edges of the leaves overlap the lower edges of the leaves above them. This is so called incubous leaf arrangement. Most of other leafy liverworts have the opposite arrangement, succubous, where the lower edges of the leaves overlap the upper edges of the leaves below them. Liverworts superficially look similar to mosses. However, apart to other less conspicuous differences, they have differently arranged leaves on the stem. Liverwort leaves are usually arranged in two lateral ranks with a third row of usually much smaller and differently shaped leaves on the back side of the stem (see picture 7a.). Moss leaves have usually a spiral arrangement. If not so, they always lack the third row of the leaves.Ref.:(1) Ian Atherton, Ed., Mosses and Liverworts of Britain and Ireland - a field guide, British Bryological Society (2010), p82. (2) V.
