<em>Aneura pinguis</em>, commonly known as common greasewort, is a liverwort belonging to the genus Aneura within the family Aneuraceae. This cryptogamic plant inhabits ecosystems across Asia, Europe, and North America, thriving in moist or waterlogged environments. Its range encompasses Taiwan in Asia, six European countries, the United States in North America, and Brazil and Colombia in South America, indicating a broad geographic distribution across multiple continents. Common greasewort is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species typically forms flat, ribbon-like thalli in damp habitats such as stream banks, wet rocks, and boggy ground. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.

Fuscidea praeruptorum is a crustose lichen in the family Fuscideaceae, assessed as Vulnerable (VU). It grows on siliceous rock surfaces in stable, undisturbed habitats and is sensitive to air pollution and land use changes. Its vulnerable status reflects the restricted occurrence of suitable clean-air rocky substrates.
