Abstract
The status of IndianBrachiolejeunea (Spruce) Schiffn. is discussed. The species described earlier under this genus belong to closely allied generaFrullanoides Raddi orTrocholejeunea Schiffn.Frullanoides Raddi is known only byFrullanoides tristis (Steph.) Van Slageren which has been discovered recently from Nilgiri hills (Tamil Nadu) and Nandi hills (Karnataka) in southern India.Trocholejeunea is represented by two species,Trocholejeunea infuscata (Mitt.) Verd. from eastern Himalayas andTrocholejeunea sandvicensis (Gott.) Mizut. from Palni hills (Tamil Nadu), south India and western Himalaya. Of theseTrocholejeunea sandvicensis has been, discovered for the first time from western Himalaya which also shows intracapsular spore germination of theLopholejeunea-type. The scanning electron microscopic details of sporoderm ofFrullanoides tristis andTrocholejeunea sandvicensis have been given.
