Abstract

Bryology in India has seen remarkable progress starting with Kashyaps’ pioneering work, as reflected in its greatly improved multi-faceted research. This article summarizes some important developments in Indian bryology. Attention is drawn to the negligence of taxonomy in general and of the lower groups of plants in particular studies on bryophytes.
