Abstract

Information about the occurrence of antibiotic substances in bryophytes and the medicinal use of bryophytes are sporadic, particularly in India, in comparison to developed countries. Despite of a long history of medicinal use of bryophytes by various tribal and local communities across the world, their significant utilization in medicines is still a dream due to lack of concise ethnobotanical information, scarcity of material, degrading habitats etc. Present article is an attempt to create awareness about this group of plants.

Abstract

Status of family Lophoziaceae in India has been discussed in the light of recent investigations and our own observations on Indian taxa. A total of 19 taxa have been recognised under eight genera including Isopaches Buch., Lophozia (Dumort.) Dumort., Schistochilopsis (N. Kitag.) Konstant., Anastrepta (Lindb.) Schiffn., Anastrophyllum (Spruce) Schiffn., Tritomaria Schiffn. ex Loeske, Tetralophozia (R.M. Schust.) Schljakov and Plicanthus R.M. Schust. Four taxa viz., Anastrophyllum minutum var. himalayanum var. nov., Lophozia udarii sp. nov., Lophozia indica sp. nov. and Schistochilopsis incisa var. himalayana var. nov., have been described as new to science. Sphenolobus longkyrdumii A.P. Singh&V. Nath is proposed as synonym under Metahygrobiella albula (Mitt.) Grolle (family Cephaloziaceae Mig.), hence excluded.
