Sphaerocarpos Muccilloi
''Sphaerocarpos muccilloi'' is a species of liverwort in the family Sphaerocarpaceae. Description ''Sphaerocarpos muccilloi'' grows in pale green mats. The thallus tissue is around five cells thick towards the center of the plant, but becomes as thin as one cell towards the edges. Those cells towards the edges are square or rectangular in shape, and are 56–108 micrometers (µm) long by 30–50 µm wide. The involucre which protects the plant's inflorescence is aggregate and oval- or cylindrical-shaped. It has a length of 1–2 millimeters (mm) and the opening is 170–280 µm wide.Vianna, 58. Dioecy ''S. muccilloi'' is a dioecious species, which means individual plants will have either male or female reproductive organs instead of both. The female plants grow roughly in a circular shape and are about 5–8 mm long. They are lobed, and the lobes grow upwards somewhat, with many rhizoids on their undersides. The male plants are more oval-shaped and also lobed. They are purp ...

Sphaerocarpos Texanus
''Sphaerocarpos texanus'', the Texas balloonwort, is a species of liverwort in the Sphaerocarpaceae family, found in the Americas, northern Africa and Europe. Description ''Sphaerocarpos texanus'' are small, thalloid, dioecious liverworts. The species is sexually dimorphic, with male plants usually 3–5 mm in diameter, females up to 12 mm in diameter. Both male (bearing antheridia) and female (bearing archegonia) plants are bright green, with the thallus branching up to several times. The plant is a winter annual, appearing in autumn and dying in spring. Notably, the spores occur in sets of four, called tetrads. Unlike most other species of liverwort, the spores stay in these tetrads until they germinate. Habitat The plant is found on flat, lightly shaded soil. Usually by roadsides. Distribution ''Sphaerocarpos texanus'' has a wide range, probably the widest of any species in its genus. It has been found on several continents, in the United States Th ...

Sphaerocarpales
Sphaerocarpales is an order of plants within the liverworts. Approximately twenty species are in this order which is sub-divided into four families: Monocarpaceae, Sphaerocarpaceae and Riellaceae, as well as the extinct family Naiaditaceae. The inclusion of the Naiaditaceae is uncertain, and the family has sometimes been assigned to the Calobryales.

Pier Antonio Micheli
Pier Antonio Micheli (December 11, 1679 – January 1, 1737) was a noted Italian botanist, professor of botany in Pisa, curator of the Orto Botanico di Firenze, author of ''Nova plantarum genera iuxta Tournefortii methodum disposita''. He discovered the spores of mushrooms, was a leading authority on cryptogams, and coined several important genera of microfungi including ''Aspergillus'' and '' Botrytis''. Micheli was born in Florence in 1679. He taught himself Latin and began the study of plants at a young age under Bruno Tozzi.According to a short description from the libraries of Harvard University. In 1706 he was appointed botanist to Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, director of the Florence gardens, and a professor at the University of Pisa. His ''Nova plantarum genera'' (1729) was a major step in the knowledge of fungi. In this work, he gave descriptions of 1900 plants, of which about 1400 were described for the first time. Among these were 900 fungi and lichens ...
