British Status: Local

This liverwort is usually conspicuous on rock ledges and boulders in the uplands of Wales. It forms distinct cushions or mats which are pale yellow-green to almost white in colour. The leaves are rounded, with two shallow, obtuse lobes and are tightly overlapping, giving an almost cylindrical appearance to individual shoots.
