Solenostoma inundatum (Jungermanniaceae)  
       
Solenostoma inundatum (previously Jungermannia inundata) is a reasonably common liverwort of wet banks beside forest streams. 

In ideal conditions, S. inundatum forms extensive carpets on damp clay banks in wet forest or rainforest. The shoots of this species are erect and often not exceeding 5mm. Under a light microscope, trigones (wall thickenings at the cell corners) are present and every cell has around 2-3 oil bodies.
