The taxon is abundantly represented both in the plains and hills though a majority of them are reportedly endemic. The present article embodies morpho-anatomical variations observed in a species of the taxon Cyathodium aureonitens (Griff.) Mitt.,recorded from a new locality, Chaukori in the hills of Pithoragarh district in Uttarakhand. The species occursin the rainy season,endures moderate winters and diesout on the onset of the summers.
