Snakewort (Conocephalum salebrosum)!! My favorite, super sweet-smelling liverwort! Always a joy to find on a wet rock by a stream.

SENEGA Snakewort SENEGA Snakewort Catarrhal symptoms, especially of the respiratory tract, and distinct eye symptoms of a paralytic type, are most characteristic.

Deliciously-aromatic Snakewort and other bryophytic goodies hanging out by a stream in the Botanic Garden. I think a little bit of the appeal of bryophytes for some anglophones stems (n.p.i.) from the fact that these early-diverging plants are still called by very ancient names. 'Wort', which comes from the Old English rather than Anglo-Norman, is, I think, a far better word than 'plant'.
