Conocephalum conicum has very wide thalli which can form large mats.
Thalli
The thalli can grow to 17mm wide, large for a liverwort. The thalli are very strong-smelling, with purplish margins; a dark green, leathery surface; flat and smooth. There is a set of lines running along the thalli's surface. The air pores, which are found between the lines, are more conspicuous.
Reproductive structures
Male plants bear unstalked, terminal cushions. Female plants have terminal conical receptacles on stalks, which are shortly lobed.
