Riella
''Riella'' is the only genus in the liverwort family Riellaceae, and includes about eighteen species.〔 Plants in the genus are small and grow submerged in shallow temporary pools. Although the genus is widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, locating populations is often difficult. Its occurrence is sporadic and local, and the tiny plants are ephemeral. The ornamented spores remain viable for several years, allowing the plants to survive annual drying of their habitat. The plants are easily grown in laboratory cultures.〔
==Description==
''Riella'' plants are small, usually or less, and thalloid, with an appearance like an immature alga.〔 The plant consists of an erect central axis ("stem") that is commonly forked,〔 but only sparingly, and the plants are bright green.〔
The stem bears a thin dorsal lamina or "wing", which being on only one side gives the plant an asymmetrical appearance.〔 This lamina is ruffled or undulate.〔 Early descriptions of the species ''Riella helicophylla'' overemphasized the spiralled form of the lamina, which does not occur in other species.〔 One species, the Algerian ''Riella bialata'' bears two wings along its stems instead of the usual single lamina.〔 The lamina has a thickness of only a single layer of cells, with all the cells thin-walled and chlorophyllose.〔
In addition to the lamina, the central stem bears delicate, small, leaf-like scales in three series along its lateral and ventral aspects.〔 The leaf scales are dimorphic and contain scattered oil cells, with a single oil body per cell.〔 ''Riella'' is thus the only member of its order with oil cells, although other genera in the class Marchantiopsida commonly have them.〔
