Odontoschisma sphagni found during the Chino Farms BioBlitz (4/27/2013). Identified by Lance Biechele. Lance notes, "This common liverwort usually forms pure mats at bases of trees in woods. Under a microscope, many liverworts contain oil bodies, found only in the Hepaticae, which may be correlated with the plant's overwintering (Schuster)."
