Liverworts (Division Bryophyta, Class Hepaticae) are multicellular,
photosynthetic, terrestrial or semiaquatic plants in which connective
tissue is lacking or poorly developed. This list of liverworts documented
from Rocky Mountain National Park was compiled by William Weber
from the University of Colorado-Boulder Herbarium material, and
supplemented with an existing park list compiled from unknown sources.
The list has not yet been updated with the recent annotations by
Hong of material in the COLO Herbarium.
