I think this is a liverwort - can't tell you the species though. I don't know much about them so I could be wrong.

Yes, John is right, it is a Liverwort, possibly Marchantia polymorpha, a common species of poor-drained soils. But like John, I am no expert.
The 'flowers' are what are called the male umbrellas; the female parts look like a little nest of eggs.
A lovely, very primitive plant.
