About this book

Language: English

Cololejeunea is one of the most delicate liverworts occurring all over the world in a variety of habitats, yet it is poorly understood probably due to the small size of the plants, the specialized habitats, and quite often due to lack of adequate material. The genus represents a heterogeneous assemblage of plants and has been variously defined by most of the workers, who recognized various taxa assigning generic and/or subgeneric ranks down to the level of sections. Our knowledge of Indian Cololejeuneas is mostly fragmentary and the plants have never been critically investigated. At the suggestion of the late Professor Ram Udar, an effort has been made to compile all information, sporadically given by different authors, in one place along with treatment of the many undescribed species of the country. The authors believe that the present work will certainly fill the gap in this field and provide a guideline for future work.

This account reviews past and present concepts of the genus, the systematic position of the genus and its family, and a detailed taxonomic account of the 30 Indian species in the light of modern taxonomic parameters, with a description of morphological diversity, geographical distribution, supplemented with plates, tables and maps. All the figures are drawn by one of the authors (GA).
