Gangulee (Bryaceae), Bartramidula bartramioides (Griff.) Wijk & Marg. (Bartramiaceae), Claopodium prionophyllum (C. Muell.) Broth. (Thuidiaceae), Plagiothecium neckeroidium B.S.G. (Plagiotheciaceae), Hypnum cupressiforme Hedw. (Hypnaceae) and Regmatodon orthostegius Mont. (Leskeaceae), from Gobind National Park in Uttarkashi district of Uttaranchal, India.
