Cyathophorum Bulbosum
''Cyathophorum bulbosum'', commonly known as quill moss or the false fern moss, is found in the eastern states of Australia (QLD, NSW, VIC, TAS and south-eastern SA) as well as Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Auckland Islands, Chatham Island, Lord Howe Island and possibly Norfolk Island and New Ireland. Taxonomy ''Cyathophorum bulbosum'' was first described by Johann Hedwig, a German botanist in 1801 in the publication ‘Species Muscorum Frondosorum’. In 1851 it was then re described by Johann Karl Müller and given the current name. It belongs in the family Hypopterygiaceae along with other genus such as ''Hypopterygium'' (umbrella moss) and ''Lopidium''. Members of this family are characterized by having flattened shoots and leaves in three rows, which is similar to many leafy liverworts. Description ''Cyathophorum bulbosum'' is often mistaken for a small fern due to its appearance. The stem can grow up to 20 cm, although is generally found around the 5–15 cm ...

Jungermanniales
Jungermanniales is the largest order of liverworts. They are distinctive among the liverworts for having thin leaf-like flaps on either side of the stem. Most other liverworts are thalloid, with no leaves. Due to their dorsiventral organization and scale-like, overlapping leaves, the Jungermanniales are sometimes called "scale-mosses".

Sporophyte
A sporophyte () is the diploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of a plant or alga which produces asexual spores. This stage alternates with a multicellular haploid gametophyte phase. Life cycle The sporophyte develops from the zygote produced when a haploid egg cell is fertilized by a haploid sperm and each sporophyte cell therefore has a double set of chromosomes, one set from each parent. All land plants, and most multicellular algae, have life cycles in which a multicellular diploid sporophyte phase alternates with a multicellular haploid gametophyte phase. In the seed plants, the largest groups of which are the gymnosperms and flowering plants (angiosperms), the sporophyte phase is more prominent than the gametophyte, and is the familiar green plant with its roots, stem, leaves and cones or flowers. In flowering plants the gametophytes are very reduced in size, and are represented by the germinated pollen and the embryo sac. The sporophyte produces spores (hence t ...
