Abstract

Radula campanigera Mont., so far known from Fiji, Indonesia, Japan, Kusaie, New Zealand, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand and Tahiti, is here described and illustrated from West Siang District of Arunachal Pradesh in Eastern Himalaya. The species was earlier reported in Indian bryoflora from Nicobar Islands, Karnataka, Meghalaya and Sikkim, but all previous records of its occurrence in the country were unfounded. Hence the present report constitutes its first authentic record for India.

Keywords
