  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

Cololejeunea furcilobulata has been discovered recently from South Indian territory (Kerala and Karnataka) which extends its range of distribution from Africa (Nigeria) to Asia. The Indian population shows a wide range of habitats as the plants may be corticolous, foliicolous and rupicolous. The taxon is characterised by somewhat ovate leaf with thin-walled leaf-cells devoid of trigones, biciliate lobule having undivided basal portion (inflated lobule also present often at base), autoecious as well as paroecious sexuality and compressed 5 plicate perianth.
