Jamesoniella tasmanica is a wet forest
liverwort found growing in clumps on the
forest floor or on logs. The leaves are convex (when viewed from
the top of the shoot) and the cells
contain numerous pale oil bodies with a grape-cluster appearance.
Shoots may become red if exposed to sun.
J. tasmanica may be confused with
Lethocolea pansa
but the shoots of latter species tends to be much more tightly adpressed to
the substrate by means of rhizoids. The leaves of
Lethocolea pansa
also do not have as many oil bodies.
