| Summary: | <p class="Default">Nilgiri hills being a part of biodiversity hot spot, is a home of colossal life forms including bryophytes. Bryophytes have a great diversity in Nilgiri hills which includes both terricolous and corticolous forms. This study deals with morphotaxonomy of three extremely infrequent terricolous taxa of order Jungermanniales, <em>viz</em>., <em>Gottschelia schizopleura </em>(Spruce) Grolle, <em>Lethocolea javanica </em>(Schiffn.) Grolle and <em>Jackiella javanica </em>var. <em>cordifolia </em>Schiffn, occurring in Nilgiri hills. These taxa were located to a few restricted pockets and facing high risk of habitat loss which need urgent/immediate conservation management.</p> <p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ije.v3i2.10640">http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ije.v3i2.10640</a></p> <p>International Journal of the Environment Vol.3(2) 2014: 263-275</p>
