Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Riccia (P. F. Ricci, Italian nobleman, patron of the botanist Micheli). Ricciaceae. Riccia fluitans, Linn., is one of the few flowerless or cryptogamous plants in cultivation aside from the ferns, mushrooms and selaginellas. It has been listed by one specialist in aquatics presumably for the benefit of students of botany. It is not generally advertised among aquarium plants. The form used in aquaria is the floating sterile state; the fruiting state (R. canaliculata, Hoffm.) grows on the ground in muddy places. In this family of plants the plant-body is a thallus (i.e., a green, flattish body not differentiated into root, stem and leaves). The thallus of Riccia spreads out in green patches which are at first radiately divided, and the center of the plant often decays quickly. R. fluitans is distinguished from other species by the linear dichotomous thallus, with the capsule protuberant from the lower surface.
