Antheridium

An antheridium is a haploid structure or organ producing and containing male gametes (called antherozoids or sperm).

See Cryptomitrium tenerum and Antheridium

Asterella

Asterella is a liverwort genus in the family Aytoniaceae. Cryptomitrium tenerum and Asterella are Aytoniaceae.

See Cryptomitrium tenerum and Asterella

Aytoniaceae

Aytoniaceae is a family of liverworts in the order Marchantiales.

See Cryptomitrium tenerum and Aytoniaceae

Cryptomitrium

Cryptomitrium is a genus of complex thalloid liverworts in the family Aytoniaceae. Cryptomitrium tenerum and Cryptomitrium are Aytoniaceae.

See Cryptomitrium tenerum and Cryptomitrium

Elater

An elater is a cell (or structure attached to a cell) that is hygroscopic, and therefore will change shape in response to changes in moisture in the environment.

See Cryptomitrium tenerum and Elater

Gemma (botany)

A gemma (plural gemmae) is a single cell, or a mass of cells, or a modified bud of tissue, that detaches from the parent and develops into a new individual.

See Cryptomitrium tenerum and Gemma (botany)

Lamella (cell biology)

A lamella (lamellae) in biology refers to a thin layer, membrane or plate of tissue.

See Cryptomitrium tenerum and Lamella (cell biology)

Lichen growth forms

Lichens are symbiotic organisms made up of multiple species: a fungus, one or more photobionts (an alga and/or a cyanobacteria) and sometimes a yeast.

See Cryptomitrium tenerum and Lichen growth forms

Marchantiales

Marchantiales is an order of thallose liverworts (also known as "complex thalloid liverworts") that includes species like Marchantia polymorpha, a widespread plant often found beside rivers, and Lunularia cruciata, a common and often troublesome weed in moist, temperate gardens and greenhouses.

See Cryptomitrium tenerum and Marchantiales

Marchantiophyta

The Marchantiophyta are a division of non-vascular land plants commonly referred to as hepatics or liverworts.

See Cryptomitrium tenerum and Marchantiophyta

Monoecy

Monoecy (adj. monoecious) is a sexual system in seed plants where separate male and female cones or flowers are present on the same plant.

See Cryptomitrium tenerum and Monoecy

Rhizoid

Rhizoids are protuberances that extend from the lower epidermal cells of bryophytes and algae.

See Cryptomitrium tenerum and Rhizoid

Sporangium

A sporangium (from Late Latin);: sporangia) is an enclosure in which spores are formed. It can be composed of a single cell or can be multicellular. Virtually all plants, fungi, and many other groups form sporangia at some point in their life cycle. Sporangia can produce spores by mitosis, but in land plants and many fungi, sporangia produce genetically distinct haploid spores by meiosis.

See Cryptomitrium tenerum and Sporangium

Thallus

Thallus (thalli), from Latinized Greek, meaning "a green shoot" or "twig", is the vegetative tissue of some organisms in diverse groups such as algae, fungi, some liverworts, lichens, and the Myxogastria.

See Cryptomitrium tenerum and Thallus

Transparency and translucency

In the field of optics, transparency (also called pellucidity or diaphaneity) is the physical property of allowing light to pass through the material without appreciable scattering of light.
