Abstract
Valsad district lies in the southern part of the state which harbours some locations embracing good diversity of bryophytes. In the present study, the bryodiversity of a potential location, i.e., Wilson hill and surroundings has been explored and reported. The study reveals the existence of 15 species of bryophytes that included 5 liverworts, 2 hornworts and 8 mosses under 9 families. Three new additions to the Bryoflora of Gujarat have also reported, viz., Taxilejeunea ghatensis, Notothylas anaporta, and Notothylas himalayensis. Interestingly, the majority of species found were terricolous in nature.
Keywords: Mosses, Liverworts, Hornworts, South Gujarat.
