Dear Dr J.M. Garg, It is quite interesting looking hornwort. In India we have six genera of hornworts, viz. Anthoceros, Folioceros (with mucilage cavities/canals in the thallus and with stomata in the epidermal layer of the capsule wall), Phaeoceros, Phymatoceros (with compact thallus and stomata in the epidermal layer of the capsule wall), and Megaceros and Notothylas (with compact thallus and the epidermal layer of the capsule wall without stomata). Precise identification is based on presence or absence of tubers and its position, nature of the lining layer of the capsule wall, colour of the spores and the sporoderm pattern, and the characteristics of the pseudoelaters. In one of the images (unnamed_2), the plant appears to has a distinct thickened median region or the midrib, covered with rhizoids, which is characteristic of the genus Dendroceros - so far not known in Indian flora. A confirmation can be made only after examining the specimens. Will it be possible for the 'collector' of the samples to send the specimens for examination? Regards, D.K.
