Despite being (perhaps) less showy than many flowering plants, Liverworts— a group of rather diminutive, non-vascular plants that are closely related to the mosses—nonetheless play a critical role in the functioning of countless ecosystems, including many that are found in New England. This class will introduce the biology of liverworts and examine the ecological role played by these plants. Additionally, we will discuss a select assortment of liverwort species that can be found growing in New England.

Learn how names allow us to trace plant origins and characteristics and inform how botanists and gardeners engage with plants, and why the words we choose change what we notice in the landscape.
