DSC_3026 Giant liverwort (Monoclea forsteri) seen here with filmy fern (Hymenophyllum). We share our largest thallose (lobed) liverwort with Patagonia. Its lobes often reaching 20cm in length and measuring up to 5cm across - making it among the largest of any liverworts. It may form continuous cover over many square metres along stream edges, and banks. Whirinaki Forest *
