Antheridium
An antheridium is a haploid structure or organ producing and containing male gametes (called antherozoids or sperm).
Archegonium
An archegonium (archegonia), from the Ancient Greek ἀρχή ("beginning") and γόνος ("offspring"), is a multicellular structure or organ of the gametophyte phase of certain plants, producing and containing the ovum or female gamete.

See Lunularia and Ella Campbell
Europe
Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Gametophyte
A gametophyte is one of the two alternating multicellular phases in the life cycles of plants and algae.
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 Lunularia and Gemma (botany)
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
India
India, officially the Republic of India (ISO), is a country in South Asia.
Japan
Japan is an island country in East Asia, located in the Pacific Ocean off the northeast coast of the Asian mainland.
Latin
Latin (lingua Latina,, or Latinum) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages.
Loam
Loam (in geology and soil science) is soil composed mostly of sand (particle size >), silt (particle size >), and a smaller amount of clay (particle size These proportions can vary to a degree, however, and result in different types of loam soils: sandy loam, silty loam, clay loam, sandy clay loam, silty clay loam, and loam.
Lunularic acid
Lunularic acid is a dihydrostilbenoid found in the liverwort Lunularia cruciata and in the roots of Hydrangea macrophylla.
See Lunularia and Lunularic acid
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 Lunularia and Marchantiales
Marchantiophyta
The Marchantiophyta are a division of non-vascular land plants commonly referred to as hepatics or liverworts. Lunularia and Marchantiophyta are liverworts.
See Lunularia and Marchantiophyta
Mediterranean Sea
The Mediterranean Sea is a sea connected to the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by the Mediterranean Basin and almost completely enclosed by land: on the north by Southern Europe and Anatolia, on the south by North Africa, on the east by the Levant in West Asia, and on the west almost by the Morocco–Spain border.
See Lunularia and Mediterranean Sea
New Zealand
New Zealand (Aotearoa) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.
Order (biology)
Order (ordo) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.
See Lunularia and Order (biology)
Ploidy
Ploidy is the number of complete sets of chromosomes in a cell, and hence the number of possible alleles for autosomal and pseudoautosomal genes.
South Africa
South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa (RSA), is the southernmost country in Africa.
See Lunularia and South Africa
Sporophyte
A sporophyte is the diploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of a plant or alga which produces asexual spores.
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.
