Lepicolea scolopendra, a leafy liverwort from cold, mesic habitats, including amongst snow. The type collection in 1791 required the circumscription of Lepicoleaceae. It has upright and pendent forms; which has confused authors over the years. #liverwort #bryophytes #AustralianFlora #TasFlora

Thank you TERN Ecosystem Surveillance for taking the eXtreme Plant Ecology Research Team (and others) on a tour of the facilities in Adelaide, including the herbarium and other collections.

Two of our eXtreme Plant Ecology Research Team students awarded with #ESA2025 conference 1st prize poster (Shelby Jones) and outstanding spoken presentation (Joshua Burke) - Well done!
