Marchantia berteroana (Marchantiaceae)  
Marchantia berteroana is a common weedy native thalloid liverwort species. It is a common colonizer of burnt ground and can be found in large quantities after a forest fire along with other primary colonizers like Funaria hygrometrica and Ceratodon. It is also common in gardens and pots in nurseries.

The underside of the thallus is covered by transparent scales which extend more or less up to the thallus margins.
