Abstract

The paper presents floristic and ecological study of three diverse habitats towards the north of Srinagar. 162 species of flowering plants are enumerated. Data concerning frequency and phenological pattern of the species found in these habitats reveal that short lived early flowering species are predominant in exposed habitats with loose soil structure and perennial forms in shady compact-soil habitats. Shading produces a lag in the phenological pattern of species. Late flowering species are mostly restricted under shaded tree canopy.

Abstract

In Part I was reviewed taxonomy of Indian Hepaticae since Mitten and lacunae and areas of further investigation in the group were also discussed. Part II dealt with families Takakiaceae through Marsupellaceae and Part III with Plagiochilaceae through Pleuroziaceae. Under both-were listed currently recognised genera and valid species, and hitherto known synonyms, critical notes and keys to identification of species where warranted. Distribution of genera and species in need of revision was also given. In this paper a taxonomic survey of the family Lejeuneaceae is dealt with. The various genera, species, their correct nomenclature and distribution are presented.
