Riccardia sp. "chamedryfolia" Coral moss

Riccardia sp. "chamedryfolia" Coral moss


Catalog Number
AP-0168
Description
Riccardia species are delicate, dark to medium green liverworts, clinging to wood or rock with their rhizoids, where they form compact cushions or lawn-like populations. They are called "Coral moss" or "Mini Pellia" in the aquarium hobby due to their dense ramification. There are at least three different Riccardia types in the aquarium hobby, labeled in the trade i. a. Riccardia chamedryfolia and R. graeffeis. However the correctness of their identification is not yet proven. Therefore we use the name Riccardia sp. "chamedryfolia" for the type that is labeled R. chamedryfola in trade. It develops quite firm, narrow, rather ascending branches that are more or less pinnately ramified.
