Metzgeria furcata (L.) Dumort., syn.: Jungermannia furcata L.. Metzgeria glabra Raddi, Herverus furcatus (L.) Gray, Fasciola furcata (L.) Dumort., Blasia furcata (L.) Fr.. Family: Metzgeriaceae H.Klinggr.EN: Forked Veilwort, DE: Gewhnliches IgelhaubenmoosSlo.: navadna trakavkaDat.: May 8. 2021Lat.: 46.35933 Long.: 13.70547Code: Bot_1366/2021_DSC2654 Habitat: Steep mountain slope, east aspect; bushes and smaller trees; calcareous, colluvial ground, humid place mostly in shade; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-8 deg C, elevations 535 m (1.750 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: on mosses.Place: Lower Trenta valley, right bank of river Soa; between villages Soa and Trenta; next to the trail from main road to abandoned farmhouse Skokar, Trenta 2, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comment: Metzgeria furcata is a common liverwort in Trenta valley and elsewhere. It grows mainly on bark of deciduous trees, preferring Fraxinus excelsior. Sometimes it can be found also on rocks, soil or mosses. This find is growing on mosses (see Fig.7). The liverwort is splitting strictly dichotomously and the angle between braches is fairly constant around 80 to 90 degrees. Scattered, irregular hairs on the edges of the thallus (Fig 5.) are also characteristic for this species.
