species
Riccardia dimorpha
The epithet ‘dimorpha’ refers to the difference between male and female plants in secondary sexual characteristics, namely plant length and number of meristems (shoot tips) per plant. The difference among sexes is such that, with familiarity, it is often possible to correctly predict the sex of an individual before reproductive structures are observed.
