Diego PastorMe flipan las hepáticas: su color, su textura, su formas autosemejantes, sus curiosísimos esporofitos... Son plantas no vasculares (sin flores ni semillas ni raíz ni tallo ni hojas) que crecen pegadas al sustrato en rincones umbríos y húmedos. Lo que se ve en las fotos son los gametofitos (individuos haploides nacidos de esporas que se reproducen por gametos, los cuales al fecundarse producen esporofitos: individuos diploides que se reproducen por esporas y se alimentan del propio gametofito sobre el que crecen). Es maravillosa la vida sexual de las plantas.
Según la NIA de observation.org, sería Reboulia hemisphaerica (familia Aytoniaceae), pero también dice que la identificación solo es posible mediante examen al microscopio...

I love liverworts: their colour, their texture, their self-similar shapes, their curious sporophytes... They are non-vascular plants (lacking flowers, seeds, roots, stems and leaves) which grow close to the substrate in damp, shady corners. In the photos you can see the gametophytes (haploid individuals born from spores wich reproduce by gametes, producing sporophytes: diploid individuals which reproduce by spores and grow on the gametophyte). Sex life os plants is wonderful.
According to observation.org's NIA, this is Reboulia hemisphaerica (family Aytoniaceae), but it also says the identification is only possible by microscopic anyalisis...
