Journal Title: Annals of Plant Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
A preliminary survey of Bilaspur-Achanakmar Tiger Reserve (ATR) forest area shows that phylogenetically significant hornworts are quite dominant in the area. The smallest known group of bryophytes Anthoceros (Hornworts) is a terrestrial and cosmopolitan genus characterized by horn-shaped sporophyte. Present investigation deals with the morphotaxonomic account of three species of hornworts. Notothylas levieri Schiffn. Ex Steph., Anthoceros punctatus L., Sp. and Phaeoceros leavies (L.) Prosk., has been identified from different localities of Bilaspur- Achnakmar Tigar Reserve (ATR) and Achanakmar–Amarkantak Biosphere Reserve (AABR), Chhattisgarh. The comprehensive and consolidate account, has been provided along with identification key. All three were new reports to the Chhattisgarh Bryoflora.
