Anthoceros agrestis
3-311.11.01Engels: Field Hornwort.
German: Das Acker-Hornmoos.
Clades: Anthocerotaceae; Anthocerotales; Anthocerotopsida; Bryophyta; Plants.
Region: circum-boreal, temperate Europe, North America.
Habitat; lowland; in moist soil, in arable fields and ditches.
Culture: listed as vulnerable.
Content: enzymes like cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase, a cytochrome P450-dependent hydroxylase; Cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase, a cytochrome P450 monooxygenases; rosmarinic acid, rosmarinic acid 3'-O-beta-D-glucoside; anthocerodiazonin, an alkaloid; 6 glutamic acid amides, N-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)-glutamic acid, N-(3,4-dihydroxybenzoyl)-glutamic acid, N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoyl)-glutamic acid, (E)-N-(isoferuloyl)-glutamic acid, (Z)-N-(isoferuloyl)-glutamic acid, (Z)-N-(p-coumaroyl)-glutamic acid.BotanyMoss; thin; dark green; rosette-like thallus; 1.5 cm in diameter; superficially resembling a leafless liverwort; surface is punctured with hollows containing the male organs.
Sporangium: lack a stalk or capsule; produce erect, cylindrical structures that turn black as they mature; then split open to reveal the spore-bearing central spindl.
Spores; black.
