The one that will never be seen unless looked for. A plant that hides in plain sight. Lophozia liverwort has creeping, branching stems forming loose, leafy mats on damp soil. Leaves are small and rounded, with a blunt, notched tip – lobed, but barely. Pale green to yellowish-green, often translucent. The whole plant is small – just a few millimetres across – and it blends into the soil and the moss. The liverwort of the hidden detail, the one that rewards the patient eye. A plant that does not want to be found. What makes it special is the hiddenness. One of the hardest liverworts to find in New Zealand. Small, pale, unassuming, blending into damp soil and surrounding moss. It can be walked past without noticing. It can be knelt right next to and still missed. But if obsessive – if down on hands and knees with a hand lens and looking closely – it will be seen. The liverwort of the patient observer, the one that rewards those who take the time to look. The leaves are small and rounded, with a blunt, notched tip. Arranged in two rows along the stem, overlapping like fish scales. Underleaves (amphigastria) are present but tiny, often hidden. Reproduction happens by spores released from capsules on short stalks. It also reproduces asexually via gemmae. To find lophozia liverwort is to get down on hands and knees and look closely at damp soil. The damp soil is brown. The liverwort is there, tiny and pale green, a leafy mat no bigger than a fingernail. It does not know it is hard to find. It does not know it rewards patient eyes. It just grows. That is what liverworts do.
