Lophocolea bidentata is a sensitive liverwort in Lophocoleaceae, found absent from urban areas in a tropical Ecuador study.
Insufficient toxicity evidence; avoid direct contact and ingestion.
Lophocolea bidentata is a liverwort species that falls into the family Lophocoleaceae. A research study conducted in tropical Ecuador discovered that Lophocolea bidentata was usually absent from urban environments, even though it was present in a nearby undisturbed, pristine site. This pattern indicates that the species is sensitive to human-caused effects, including wastewater and heavy metal pollution.
