Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Diphyscium mucronifolium (Diphysciaceae) is presently added to the bryophytic flora of Assam, India from Chandubi. The taxon has been identified as a distributional report based on morphological investigations. The species has often been confused with D. longifolium. The key diagnostic feature separating it from the D. longifolium is the presence of entire margins in leaf cells in D. mucronifolium. In D. longifolium, leaf margins are serrate or dentate with uni- or bi-dentations. The present study implies the range extension of this taxon.
