- Comments
- This liverwort was named in 1965 from eastern North America as distinct from the European A. maxima. Older collections in Virginia identified as A. pinguis need to be re-examined for possible additions to the range of A. sharpii. To date, the species has only been identified from a few mountain counties.
Aneura and Pellia are often mistaken for one another and care must be taken to examine papillae just under the thallus margins. Those of Pellia are two-celled (ie. trichomes) with the basal cell often being darkened; the single-celled papillae of Aneura are hyaline throughout. - Habitat
- Various wetland habitats so far known: shaded spring outflow; wet boulders in mountain stream; wet ground in skunk cabbage seep
