Genus Seligeria (Bryophyta: Seligeriaceae) New to Indian Bryoflora
摘要
The genus Seligeria Bruch & Schimp. is reported here for the first time in India, represented by Seligeria donniana. The specimens were collected from the alpine region of Uttarakhand, western Himalaya. Most of the species of genus Seligeria are saxicolous, found in cold climatic condition. In lacking a peristome in their capsule, S. donniana distinctly differs from other species of the genus Seligeria. A brief taxonomic description, line drawing illustration and photo-plate provided to facilitate its future identification.
