    ben, the answer seem to be Yes and No
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Okay, we have 2 Bens in this thread so I have to indicate one from the other.

    Ben (subzero),

    I think what Heng Wah meant in his post when he said "Yes and No" was that the first plant you showed is a Liverwort and the second one, a Moss. He was replying directly to your question in the subject heading. I think he's right on both counts.

    Ben (brbarkey),

    The Pellia is now confirmed to be Monoselenium tenerum and you are right to say that subzero's Liverwort looks the same. Leaf branching patterns are an indication of genus, as far as I know.

    Gan,

    I've uploaded Ben's pics to my server. You should be able to see them now. I don't know why pictures uploaded by members of this site can sometimes appear in some people's computer screens but not in others. Those I can see I can copy and upload to my server but those I cannot have to be sent to me through email.

    No, not really. During our visit to Oriental, the Prof confirmed that the name is correct. He wasn't sure initially but he got a new Liverwort book recently and now its confirmed that Tropica was right about the name of the plant.

    Thanks Kwek Leong. I can see them.
    I have no idea why I can't see it. It definitely has nothoing to do with your forum because I can't see them even when I access them directly.

    I don't know if it is due to conflicts between my setup and the service provider hosting file.

    The Prof has confirmed that the plant in Oriental Handbook is Monoselenium tenerum. He has also identified a few other liverworts and working on a few others. If you have any liverworts that you would like to ID, post it on this forum. If we don't know the ID, we will pass it to the Prof to ID.
