| Summary: | The morphotaxonomy, species composition, distributional pattern and ecological studies of the genus Ophioglossum L. (Adder’s tongue) in Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve (PBR) of Madhya Pradesh have been accomplished. Ophioglossum polyphyllum A. Braun ex Seubert have been recorded for the first time which is a new addition to the pteridophytic flora of PBR. However, Ophioglossum gramineum Willd, Ophioglossum nudicaule L. and O. reticulatum L. has shown extended range of trans-geographical distribution within the Biosphere Reserve. The taxonomic characters, diversity between and within the species, and habitat of growth across the Biosphere Reserve have been extensively discussed. |
