Antarctic Bryophyta.

The article discusses the largest group of plants in the Antarctic regions, the bryophytes, which are stated to outnumber vascular plants in species. Several scientists have earlier reviewed the bryophytes of Antarctica and have issued literature on the subject like "Biologie antarctique," and "Antarctic Research." The earliest bryologists to study Antarctic material are stated to hold narrower concepts of species. The article states that in spite of the numerous names given to the bryophytes of Antarctica, the actual number of species in Antarctic Continent is much smaller than at equally higher latitudes in the Arctic. The flowering plants and lichens are of small stature and grow in compressed tufts.
