Bryocrumia malabarica discovered in Malabar Wildlife Sanctuary
A new species of moss of the genus Bryocrumia has been named after the Malabar region of Kerala from where it was spotted.
Bryocrumia malabarica, discovered in the Malabar Wildlife Sanctuary along the Western Ghats, is special, say the botanists responsible for its discovery. This tiny bryophyte is only the second species to be identified in the genus Bryocrumia which has for long thought to be monotypic - that is, represented by just one species.
