Marchantiophyta
The Marchantiophyta /mɑːrˌkæntiˈɒfɪtə/ ( listen) 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.
