Milky liverwortFrullania tamarisci

Its color varies from reddish-brown to purple. Its phyllids are very different from other types, as they have a ventral lobe, in the shape of a small sac, which allows the species to accumulate some water. It also has a third row of ventral phyllids, the amphigasts, arranged in a line along the stem.
