Marchantia (Marchant, French botanist). Marchantiaceae. A common liverwort (one of the Bryophyta; see p. 6, Vol. I) spreading its lf.-like forking thallus on moist earth. M. polymorpha, Linn., has been offered by dealers in native plants, the sods of it being sold for colonizing in rock-gardens. It frequently grows on damp sills and walls in greenhouses. The flat thallus is often 4-5 in. long and 1 in. or more wide, from which rise peduncles 1 in. high, bearing the antheridial disk or shield and the star-like carpocephalum on similar stalks 1-3 in. high.
