New liverwort?

[timebomb]

Im assuming this is the thread to find out the moment the conference is held? =)

I'm afraid I can't be sure of this, Sean. If memory serves, the professor said the conference will be held somewhere in the US of A. It could very well be that you find out the name before we do.

But I'll keep you informed if I hear news on this fern gametophyte. You're not the only one who has expressed a keen interest in this plant but the professor is playing his cards close to his chest, if you know what I mean
He refused to write down the name for me when I asked him for it. Unfortunately, my mind isn't as sharp as it used to be. I heard the name once but for the life of me, I just can't recall it.

It seems, that Round pelia can be a gametophyte of ferns from species:
Lomariopsis lineata .

That's an amazing piece of investigative work, Robert. Thanks for the link.
So now we know

I forgot to mention Please do not use the common name as mentioned by Robert. The fern is neither a pellia nor is the shape round. Common names are not expected to make sense but I don't think we want a name that is really ridiculous.

Amazing! Now the search is on for the elusive Süßwassertang sporophyte!

I have this mini liverwort in my tank for quite some time, it grow from needle leaf fern leaves.

Growing rate very very slow. I can't find the name for it since last time I posted on other forum for identification.
