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.
