Dear Dr J.M. Garg,
It is quite interesting looking hornwort. In India we have six genera of hornworts, viz. Anthoceros,
Folioceros (with mucilage cavities/canals in the thallus and with stomata in the epidermal layer of the
capsule wall), Phaeoceros, Phymatoceros (with compact thallus and stomata in the epidermal layer of the
capsule wall), and Megaceros and Notothylas (with compact thallus and the epidermal layer of the
capsule wall without stomata). Precise identification is based on presence or absence of tubers and its
position, nature of the lining layer of the capsule wall, colour of the spores and the sporoderm
pattern, and the characteristics of the pseudoelaters. In one of the images (unnamed_2), the plant
appears to has a distinct thickened median region or the midrib, covered with rhizoids, which is
characteristic of the genus Dendroceros - so far not known in Indian flora. A confirmation can be made
only after examining the specimens. Will it be possible for the 'collector' of the samples to send the
specimens for examination?
Regards,
D.K. Singh

Hello,I'm trying to contact a bryologist with a good knowledge about Indian bryoflora, specially for
this plant, an anthocerophyta found at an altitud of around 2100m :


Thank you for your help.Benoît
