    Endemism in Liverworts of Western Ghats 1 Endemism in Liverworts of Western Ghats and their present status Praveen Kumar Verma1 and S. C. Srivastava2 1Rain Forest Research Institute, Deovan, Sotai Ali, Post Box 136, Jorhat – 785 001 (Assam), India 2National Botanical Research Institute, Rana Pratap Marg, Lucknow - 226001 (Uttar Pradesh), India e-mails: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. The status of endemic liverworts in the Western Ghats ‘one of the major Hot spots’ of plant biodiversity have been discussed in the present paper. The study is based on the evaluation of type and authentic specimens available in Lucknow University Hepatic Herbarium (LWU) as well as those in several international herbaria including NICH, NY, JE, FH, G and excicatae of the world and published data. An overall assessment and evaluation revealed the presence of a total of 54 liverworts endemic to Western Ghats in India. The paper also discusses those species which were earlier known as endemic to the area but now show an extended range of distribution elsewhere and also the species earlier introduced from Western Ghats but now changed their status. Key words: India/ Western Ghats/ Endemism/ Bryophytes/ Liverworts Introduction India has a very rich heritage of Bryo-diversity with varying degree of generic as well as species differentiation. The Western Ghats of India is one of the 34 hot spots of biodiversity in the world and is included amongst eight of the hottest ‘Hot Spots’ on the globe (Myer, 2005). The region stretches over 1,600 kilometer, started from Sahyadri of Maharashtra and pass through chain of mountains running parallel to western coast of peninsular Indian (including Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala) and culminates at the tip of the Indian peninsula at Kanyakumari.
