Conocephalum salebrosum, commonly known as snakewort, is a species of liverwort, a non-vascular land plant, with a broad, holarctic distribution.[1] It is also known as snakeskin liverwort, cat-tongue liverwort, mushroom-headed liverwort, and great scented liverwort.[2]
Species of Conocephalum are arranged into the Conocephalum conicum complex, which includes several cryptic species.[3]
C. salebrosum grows in shaded to part-shade habitats in wet or moist conditions, often on rock surfaces or thin soil.[2]
Distribution and habitat
C. salebrosum is commonly found throughout North America[4][5] and occurs in moist, shaded and calcareous habitats. In contrast to Conocephalum conicum, C. salebrosum is more tolerant to desiccation and can grow in areas with less shade.[4]
