Abstract

A number of Indian liverworts are only poorly known in country’s bryoflora with apparently no representation in Indian herbaria. Two such species, viz. Horikawaella subacuta (Herzog) S.Hatt. & Amakawa – an Himalayan endemic, and Pleurozia purpurea Lindb., widespread in North America, Europe and Southeast Asia,  have been described and illustrated here based on recently collected specimens from Arunachal Pradesh in the Eastern Himalaya.
