Paper includes information on intraspecific variability (ecologial and morpho-anatomical) among 25 accessions of Dumortiera hirsuta collected from diverse habitats in Bhaderwah (J.&K.). Taxon exhibits tremendous diversity in ecological (habitat, pH and altitude) and morpho-anatomical (both gametophytic and sporophytic) characters.
