What's the difference between the Riccardias (coral/mini pellia)

[khemo]

Hey guys

Anyone know the difference between Riccardia graeffei and Riccardia chamedryfolia ? or are they the same liverwort? I heard Riccardia graeffei has rounder leaves is that true? What do you think?

Hi,

Riccardia graeffei and Riccardia chamedryfolia is commonly known as mini pellia (common name). I have not yet seen Riccardia graeffei.

But i am growing mini pellia(i think it scientific name should be Riccardia chamedryfolia). I might be wrong.

For now, i will name it under my collection as Riccardia chamedryfolia(mini pellia). Until someone can come up a proven scientific name to it.

To grow it beautifully will also affect the appearance.

Frankly i do not know where the coral pellia common name come from.
