About this book

This book aims to present an overview of two groups: hornworts and liverworts of bryophytes. It is an outcome of several years of research on bryophytes made in different regions of Nepal. It continues the coverage provided by volume 1. Although the study of bryophytes in Nepal was initiated long ago by Wallich in 1832, still many parts of the Himalayan region remain unexplored.
