Crescent-cup Liverwort - Lunularia cruciata

Get out in the garden and look for this liverwort. It especially likes pots in which you have sown seed the previous autumn and left them undisturbed. I found it in several pots of Clary Sage we had sown last September. It is easily told by the crescent shaped gemmae cups, hence the English name Crescent-cup Liverwort - Lunularia cruciata
