Lyn you're a genius. Liverwort is what it is alright (looks like species archegonia). I quite like it as a ground cover as it tends to suppress grass and it's quite nice to walk on. It's also maintenace free as you don't need to cut it or do anything really. In my earlier post I was tempted to describe it as prehistoric as it looks odd as if it belongs to another time and lo and behold I read that liverworts were one of the first plants to encroach onto the land so my visiual instinct was right. It sounds as if it must be salt tolerant too so it's very difficult to erradicate and you certainly cannot kill it by spraying glyphosate. Thanks for the lead. Happy gardening.
