Notable FeaturesThis specimen is a liverwort (Riccia fluitans), not a bonsai. It lacks woody trunks, roots, and traditional foliage, and therefore cannot be styled or cultivated as a bonsai. The 'forest' style is chosen as the least inappropriate option to describe a collection of individual plants, despite not being trees.
Description
This image displays a colony of Common Crystalwort, a liverwort, growing on a moist substrate. It is characterized by its light green, dichotomously branched thalli that form dense, rosette-like mats.
