Conocephalum conicum liverwort


One of those most uninspiring photos that I want to add to a set, and this is the only way to do it : ) Found on a day of botanizing at the Sacred Rocks Sanctuary, a Nature Conservancy area, near Rimbey, Alberta (N of Calgary), on 26 June 2011. I don't have the exact location to add to my map, so have just marked Rimbey, Alberta.
"Conocephalum conicum, commonly known as the snake liverwort, is the largest of the thalloid liverworts. Its pale to dark green thallus can grow up to 20 cm long. The dorsal surface of C. conicum is covered with tiny hexagons, which makes the entire thallus seem snake-like. In the centre of each hexagon is a pore, which is actually a break in the epidermis over top of an air chamber. This liverwort is widespread across Canada and it can usually be found on moist rocks or wet inorganic soils." Taken from the website below.
