Checklist
Mosses
In recent past considerable work has been done on mosses of Central India region but a all-inclusive literature was lacking. Therefore in present study attempt is made to fill this lacuna. This checklist reports occurrence of 210 valid taxa under 94 genera, and 30 families of mosses from this region. Family Pottiaceae is the most diversified one represented by 34 taxa under 19 genera, while genus Fissidens is the largest genus with 26 taxa distributed in the central Indian bryo-geographical zone. The taxa reported without species epithet, have been excluded here. The accepted names are cited in bold. This compilation of central India mosses is first ever effort in context of the Indian mosses and would be helpful to future workers.

Bryophytes from the Fiji Islands, VII. Cololejeunea renneri sp. nov. (Lejeuneaceae, Marchantiophyta)
Pócs, Tamás
Cololejeunea
Eastern Melanesia
Fiji Islands
new species
Southern Pacific
During the biodiversity research of Fiji Islands Matt A.M Renner has collected a Cololejeunea species related to Cololejeunea filidens Benedix, widespread in the Indomalesian region, but well differs by its short, unicellular second lobular tooth and by its thin cell walls without trigones and intermediate thickenings. It is described as Cololejeunea renneri Pócs. With this the number of Cololejeunea species known from Fiji Islands raised to 43. The new species might be more widespread in the Indomalesian-Pacific region, just confused before with Cololejeunea filidens.

The two subspecies of the leafy liverwort, Scapania ligulata Steph., namely, subsp. ligulata and subsp. stephanii (Mull Frib.) Potemkin, Piippo & T.J. Kop., collected from the Kumaun and adjacent region in Western Himalaya, India are being described and compared. The report of the presence of the subspecies stephanii in this region confirms the fact that the ligulata-stephanii species complex having both subspecies migrated to Himalaya. The paper provides some additional distinctive features between the two subspecies.

chloroplast genome
The sequencing of complete chloroplast genome of Marchantia polymorpha paved the way to know the structure and organization of chloroplast genomes of other plants. Since then ~747 chloroplast genomes have been sequenced. However, in comparison to the tracheophytes, a small number of complete chloroplast genome sequences of bryophytes are available (only 4 liverworts, 6 mosses and 2 hornwort). This review represents an update on sequenced chloroplast genomes of bryophytes.

Plagiochila sisparensis Steph., an endemic liverwort of Western Ghats - Sri Lanka hot spot, is recently rediscovered from Avalanche in Nilgiri hills (Tamil Nadu), the area is adjacent to its home place. The species was only recorded from India in 1921 from Sispara (Kerala). After more than 90 years gap it has been rediscovered. The species is easily separable from other species of Plagiochila sect. Tayloriae, and characterized by moderately imbricate leaves which are oblong in shape, spinose teeth, mostly restricted to ventral margin of the leaves. Detailed information is given on its morphology and ecology, and a comparison of similar species of the same section is also discussed.

During an investigation on the bryophytes of Gangetic plains, Archilejeunea minutilobula Udar et U. S. Awasthi has been identified at Farakka, district Murshidabad (West Bengal) which is a new addition to the Gangetic plains and West Bengal. Previously it was known from South India (Mettupalayam, Mahabaleshwar) only. The taxon belongs to subfamily Ptychanthoideae of the family Lejeuneaceae (order Jungermanniales). Family Lejeuneaceae is underexplored in the Gangetic plain region and discovery of this species from this region after five decades since its inception is very significant.

Hornwort diversity at Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve (Madhya Pradesh), India

Gupta, Reesa
Anthocerotophyta
bryophytes
Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve
Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve (PBR) has been a major spot of biodiversity in central India, particularly in terms of cryptogamic flora. Hornworts are the group of bryophytes placed under Division Anthocerotophtya which form a significant assemblage with phylogenetic and evolutionary importance as these plants possess characteristics that relate to the vascular plants. As a result their taxonomic studies, diversity assessment and understanding of their affinities hold much importance. India harbours 39 hornwort taxa, out of which nine have been listed from PBR. Among these five taxa viz. Anthoceros bharadwajii Udar et Asthana, Phaeoceros carolinianus (Michx.) Prosk., P. kashyapii Asthana et Sriv., P. laevis (L.) Prosk.and P. udarii Asthana et Nathhave been encountered from the study area. The total diversity of hornworts at PBR, including the previously listed taxa and those elucidated in the present study suggests that these plants contribute substantially towards the bryophyte diversity of the Biosphere Reserve.
