Overview
The Radula Liverworts
A family of leafy liverworts (Marchantiophyta) rather than flowering plants — an unusual entry in a materia medica. Interest centres on the bibenzyl constituents of Radula species, some of which are structurally reminiscent of plant cannabinoids. The pharmacology is early and almost entirely preclinical.
