Abstract

Twelve species of the genus Plagiochila (Dumort.) Dumort., have been described and illustrated from Great Himalayan National Park and its environs in Kullu District, Himachal Pradesh. Of these P. elegans and P. richteri are extremely rare in the study area, whereas P. duthiana, P. mundaliensis, P. nepalensis, P. parvifolia and P. sciophila are quite common. The others show restricted distribution. The phytoclimatic conditions in the Sainj Valley of the Park appear to be more congenial for the growth of the genus.
