Cladistic Analysis of the Hornworts (Anthocerotophyta) (original) (raw)

Enumeration of the new Hornworts from Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh), India

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.

Diversity of Hornwort in Mount Slamet (Central Java)

Floribunda, 2021

Recent more intensive explorations and collections of hornworts in Mt. Slamet indicated that six species can be recognized, namely Anthoceros punctatus, Folioceros fuciformis, Phaeoceros carolinianus, P. exiguus, Dendroceros difficilis, and Megaceros flagellaris. Since originally only one species D. difficilis was recorded from this area, this means that five species represent new records for the area, whereas P. exiguus is not only a new record for Java, but it is also a new record for Malesia.
