Ricciocarpus (Riccia-fruited). Ricciaceae. The single formerly recognized species of this genus, R. natans, Corda, is offered abroad as an aquarium plant. It is a small floating plant, consisting of a single spatulate frond about 1/2in. or less long, more or less cleft or cordate at the larger end or dichotomously branched, from the under side of which many root-like bodies are emitted. It is widely distributed over the earth. From Riccia, the plant is distinguished by technical characters of archegonia and antheridia, and it has been united with that genus by some authors. A second species has recently been added to the genus, R. velutinus, Steph., from W. Amer.; it appears not to have been listed for cultivators.
