Abstract

Fifty one taxa of liverworts, belonging to 20 genera and 13 families, have been recorded from Eastern Himalaya, India. Of these, Herbertus armitanus (Steph.) H.A. Mill., H. longispinus J.B. Jack & Steph., Lejeunea sordida (Nees) Nees, Stenolejeunea apiculata (Sande Lac.) R.M. Schust. and Riccia haskarliana Steph. are new to India, Heteroscyphus palniensis Abha Srivast. & S.C. Srivast., Frullania muscicola Steph. var. inuena (Steph.) Kamim. and Riccia stricta (Lindenb.) Perold are new to the Himalayan region, Heteroscyphus orbiculatus Abha Srivast. & S.C. Srivast. and Lopholejeunea sikkimensis Steph. var. tenuicostata Sushil K. Singh & D.K. Singh are new to the Eastern Himalayan region, 13 species and one variety are new to the State of Sikkim,14 species and one subspecies are new to Arunachal Pradesh, whereas two species have been recorded for the first time from the State of West Bengal. The rest are common between either two of the three States in the region. This also constitutes the first record of the genus Stenolejeunea R.M. Schust. in Indian bryoflora.
