| Abstract: | The genus Folioceros Bharad. is represented in the Indian subcontinent by 12 species: F. assamicus Bharad., F. appendiculatus (Steph.) Udar et Singh, F. dixitianus (Mahabale) Bharad., F. glandulosus (L. et L.) Bharad., F. indicus Bharad., F. kashyapii Sriv. et Asthana, F. mangaloreus (Steph.) Bharad., F. paliformis Singh, F. physocladus Bharad. ex Schiffn. et Pande, F. satpurensis (Sriv.) Bharad. et Srivastava, F. amboinensis (Schiffn.) Piippo and F. udarii Asthana et Sriv. The greatest concentration of species has been observed in the moist subtropical evergreen as well as deciduous forests of the eastern Himalaya and south India, possessing 6 and 4 species, respectively. Western Himalaya and central India host one species each while the Andaman Islands possess two species. All species are endemic to their bryogeographical zones except F. appendiculatus, F. glandulosus and F. amboinensis, as F. appendiculatus occur in Samoa, Java, Sumatra and New Guinea while F. glandulosus occurs in New South Wales, Australia and F. amboinensis in Java beyond the Indian subcontinent. Folioceros indicus, F. physocladus and F. satpurensis are restricted to slightly higher altitudes, whereas F. mangaloreus, F. assamicus, F. paliformis and F. amboinensis are restricted to comparatively lower altitudes. |
