Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Sphaerocarpos texanus, also known as the Texas balloonwort, is a small, thalloid liverwort found in various regions including the Americas, northern Africa, and Europe. It is a sexually dimorphic species, with male plants being smaller in size compared to females. The plant is bright green in color and appears in autumn, dying in spring. Its unique feature is the occurrence of spores in sets of four, called tetrads, which remain intact until they germinate. Sphaerocarpos texanus is typically found in flat, lightly shaded soil, often near roadsides. It has a wide distribution and has been recorded in countries such as the United States, Uruguay, England, Germany, France, and Morocco.
