from: £10.23 · scroll down to shop

Riccia fluitans is an aquatic liverwort. Its body is formed by the thallus which is fork-shaped. Its colour is emerald to deep green - the lighter forms usually grow in bright light. Riccia fluitans often forms thick mats on the surface of the water, but in the mud it takes a terrestrial form with short rhizoids and anchors itself to the bottom. Riccia was formerly used in breeding tanks for fish fry or to spawn labyrinth fishes, which build the bubbles of their foamy nests under the tufts.
