8-17 Liverwort

 8-17

Liverworts are non-vascular and produce no flowers. Reproduction, which starts out plant-like with a fertilized egg, becomes spore producing and fern-like.

Suffice it to say that the umbrella-like structures lifting above this specimen prove it to be male. Palm-tree-like female parts will be produced on separate plants.
