There is an article by Paul Simons in the British CP Society
Journal, dated Spring 1980, which explains the carnivorous (rotifer
eating) habit of the Leafy Liverworts, Colura and Pleurozia, both
tropical genera.
I find my local liverwort to be a pain, continually fighting a
losing battle to remove it from my Utrics and Genlisea, which it
can smother in a very short space of time. ANYONE INTERESTED!!!!!,
I doubt whether it is one of the genera mentioned above, rather
cute though if one does'nt grow terrestrials.
ALL THE BEST Eric
