Anthoceros macrosporus Steph., an endemic and threatened hornwort which was known from its type specimen only from Borghat, Maharashtra, India has recently been re-discovered from Maharashtra and Gujarat from a second location in restricted pockets. Hence, it is proposed to designate the taxon as endangered and to be included in the Red List of Plants by the IUCN. Morphotaxonomic details of the recently collected plants have been studied.References
