Lophocolea brookwoodiana, the Brookwood crestwort, is a species of liverwort in the family Lophocoleaceae. It is only known from a very small area within Brookwood Cemetery in Surrey, UK.
Lophocolea brookwoodiana is a delicate, translucent, pale green leafy liverwort. Its leaf shape is variable: some leaves have several teeth, whilst others have 2 or 3 blunt lobes. The underleaves are deeply bilobed and have numerous teeth. Unlike other British Lophocolea species, it is not scented.[1]
