Liverworts (796 words)
During the 16th century, it was commonly applied to the genus Marchantia, a flat, branching, ribbon-shaped plant the margins of which were claimed to resemble the lobes of a liver.
Because Marchantia is very common in northern Europe, it was, in the latter half of the 19th century, the most studied liverwort and, consequently, was described in all the books, including American botany texts which were patterned after those published in Europe.
Regrettably, the practice of using Marchantia has persisted to the present time; it is still the most, and not uncommonly the only, illustrated liverwort in introductory texts.
The Thallus of Marchantia (1122 words)
He came upon the section dealing with the Marchantia, which has a stem-like structure known as a thallus and reproduces asexually by forming gemmae on the upper surface of the thallus that starts new plants.
It was decided that since the Thallus of Marchantia was, after all, from Arabia, he was probably anti-Semitic or at least anti-Zionist and his visit should be protested.
The plane landed and the Thallus of Marchantia also known as Arthur Schein walked proudly down the gangway where the mayor's official chauffeur-driven limousine awaited him.
