Liverwort (Marchantia) (Product Code: SCL478/0203) is a laminated chart used to teach Marchantia, the flat, ribbon-like liverwort that represents the thalloid bryophytes in school and college botany. Where a moss grows as upright leafy shoots, Marchantia spreads over wet soil as a forking green thallus, so this 75 x 100 cm polyart chart pairs naturally with a moss chart. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Marchantia is taught for three features students rarely forget. The upper surface of the thallus carries small air pores, while the underside bears rhizoids and scales that anchor it and hold water. Cup-shaped gemma cups on the upper surface contain tiny green discs, the gemmae, which are splashed out by rain and grow into new plants — a clear example of vegetative reproduction. Sexual reproduction happens on stalked receptacles that rise above the thallus: disc-like ones on male plants and umbrella-like ones with finger-shaped rays on female plants, since Marchantia plants are either male or female.
Teachers often use the chart as the second half of a moss-versus-liverwort comparison, asking students to tabulate plant form, rhizoids, methods of reproduction and where the small sporophyte develops. If live Marchantia grows near the school, students can look for gemma cups with a hand lens and match them to the chart; a preserved Marchantia specimen gives the same comparison in seasons when fresh material is not available, making the pair useful plant biology lab equipment.
ScienceLab, the brand of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Liverwort (Marchantia) chart. It is produced at the company’s own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied direct to schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers without an intermediary. If you later need the matching Funaria chart or a replacement copy, the same manufacturer handles it. More about the company is on the company profile page.

Why is the plant on the Liverwort (Marchantia) chart called a thalloid liverwort?
Marchantia, the subject of the Liverwort (Marchantia) chart, is called thalloid because its body is a flat thallus rather than a stem with leaves. The thallus branches by forking, and this growth form is what separates it most obviously from mosses such as Funaria.
How is the Liverwort (Marchantia) chart different from the Marchantia specimen?
The Liverwort (Marchantia) chart is a large illustration for whole-class teaching, while the Marchantia specimen is a real plant preserved in a glass jar for close handling. Many schools order both, using the chart to label structures students then find on the specimen.
Are male and female structures part of the Liverwort (Marchantia) chart topic?
Male and female receptacles are a standard part of teaching Marchantia, and the Liverwort (Marchantia) chart is intended for that topic. The product details do not list the exact structures labelled, so please check the artwork with us through the contact page before ordering.
What size is the Liverwort (Marchantia) chart, and what is it made of?
The Liverwort (Marchantia) chart is a 75 x 100 cm sheet of polyart with a laminated surface. The lamination protects the print during regular classroom handling and lets you wipe away dust with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
Who manufactures the Liverwort (Marchantia) chart?
The Liverwort (Marchantia) chart is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Enquiries for code SCL478/0203, repeat orders and replacement copies go straight to the manufacturer.
