Abstract

In recent past considerable work has been done on mosses of Central India region but a all-inclusive literature was lacking. Therefore in present study attempt is made to fill this lacuna. This checklist reports occurrence of 210 valid taxa under 94 genera, and 30 families of mosses from this region. Family Pottiaceae is the most diversified one represented by 34 taxa under 19 genera, while genus Fissidens is the largest genus with 26 taxa distributed in the central Indian bryo-geographical zone. The taxa reported without species epithet, have been excluded here. The accepted names are cited in bold. This compilation of central India mosses is first ever effort in context of the Indian mosses and would be helpful to future workers.
