Abstract

While investigating the Hepaticae of Manipur State (23°47'-25°41' N and 93°61'-94°43' E) collected during February-March 1978, the presence of an interesting species of Frullania was noticed. The point of interest centered round the numerous gemmae borne on the margins of dorsal leaf-lobes, a rare feature for the genus Frullania. This plant resembles Frullania tuyanae Hatt. & Thaith., a species recently instituted by Hattori and Thaithong (1978) from Laos. The species so far endemic to Laos is being reported for the first time from India. The present species of Frullania is distinctive from all other known species from India in having numerous gemmae restricted to the margins of leaf-lobes and leaf-lobules. The relevant taxononic features of the plant are given below.

Abstract

The paper presents state-of-the-art report of the studies in epiphyllous liverworts of India. Such taxa are confined to Eastern Himlayas, South India and Andaman & Nicobar Islands only. Two other major bryogeographical units of Indian Bryoflora, namely Western Himalayas and Central Indian Zone are apparently devoid of this interesting group of plants. On the basis of bryological literature and present study it is concluded that 39 species, belonging to 14 genera, occur in India. The represented families are Lejeuneaceae (sensu lato), Radulaceae and Metzgeriaceae. Colura acutifolia Ast is a new record for the" country. Distributional details of all the species of epiphyllous liverworts occurring in India have been provided.
