Jubula (plant)
Jubula is a genus of liverwort in the family Jubulaceae. Jubula taxonomy is complex with different subspecies found across much of the planet. J. hutchinsiae subsp. hutchinsiae can be found across western Europe, with population strongholds in Britain and Ireland. This liverwort demands high humidity in southern-temperate environments, often found near waterfalls.
Named after 18th Century Irish botanist Ellen Hutchins who described the species as new to science.
