In the Evolutionary process, Bryophytes are transitional
flora between aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Bryophytes which are commonly
known as amphibians of the plant kingdom receive little attention by the
scientific community than the other plant groups in the plant kingdom. This
investigation aims to deal with the distribution of Bryophytic flora in different
regions such as Ananthagiri hills near Aruku, Hukumpeta near Paderu and
Chintapalli near Narsipatnam of Visakhapatnam District. Environmental
parameters of the study sites were collected and a total of 12 species have
been reported from different study sites. Utilization of Bryophytes for various
applications also reported in this study. Common genera of this region are
Funaria, Marchantia, Polytrichum, Riccia and Spagnum. Effect of the climatic factors on frequency
and abundance of the Bryophytic flora was assessed.
