Jubula (plant)

Jubula is a genus of liverwort in the family Jubulaceae. Jubula taxonomy is complex with different subspecies found across much of the planet.^[1] J. hutchinsiae subsp. hutchinsiae can be found across western Europe, with population strongholds in Britain and Ireland. This liverwort demands high humidity in southern-temperate environments, often found near waterfalls.
