IUCN Red List Vulnerable Species (plantae)
As of September 2016, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists 5430 Vulnerable species, Vulnerable (VU) Plantae, plant species. 25% of all evaluated plant species are listed as Vulnerable. The IUCN also lists 244 subspecies and 235 varieties as Vulnerable. No subpopulations of plants have been evaluated by the IUCN. For a species to be assessed as vulnerable to extinction the best available evidence must meet quantitative criteria set by the IUCN designed to reflect "a high risk of extinction in the wild". ''Endangered'' and ''Critically Endangered'' species also meet the quantitative criteria of ''Vulnerable'' species, and are listed separately. See: List of endangered plants, List of critically endangered plants. Vulnerable, Endangered, and Critically Endangered species are collectively referred to as ''threatened species'' by the IUCN. Additionally 1674 plant species (7.6% of those evaluated) are listed as ''Data Deficient'', meaning there is insuffic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Marchantiophyta
The Marchantiophyta () are a division of non-vascular land plants commonly referred to as hepatics or liverworts. Like mosses and hornworts, they have a gametophyte-dominant life cycle, in which cells of the plant carry only a single set of genetic information. It is estimated that there are about 9000 species of liverworts. Some of the more familiar species grow as a flattened leafless thallus, but most species are leafy with a form very much like a flattened moss. Leafy species can be distinguished from the apparently similar mosses on the basis of a number of features, including their single-celled rhizoids. Leafy liverworts also differ from most (but not all) mosses in that their leaves never have a costa (present in many mosses) and may bear marginal cilia (very rare in mosses). Other differences are not universal for all mosses and liverworts, but the occurrence of leaves arranged in three ranks, the presence of deep lobes or segmented leaves, or a lack of clearly diff ...

Takakia Ceratophylla
''Takakia ceratophylla'' is one of the two species of toothless mosses in the genus '' Takakia'', under the Takakiaceae family. This species was first described by William Mitten in 1861. ''Takakia ceratophylla'' is vulnerable and threatened by habitat loss due to human activities. Description ''Takakia ceratophylla'' was first described as a liverwort under the genus ''Lepidozia'' for nearly a century. Later rediscovered in Japan and claimed to be sharing traits from both the liverworts and mosses based on genetic sequences and morphological characters. Some features that are similar to mosses include the presence of columella, tapered foot, and calyptra; the elongation and twisting of the seta; and the absence of elaters. Whereas structures such as rhizoids, stomata in sporangium, operculum and peristome teeth are not differentiated in this species. Geographic range and habitat ''Takakia ceratophylla'' is terrestrial and can be found in China, India, Nepal, and the Un ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
