Abstract
Pachamalai Hills, situated on the Southern Eastern Ghats of Tamil Nadu, was relatively unexplored as far as moss flora (Bryopsida) is concerned. Considering the need for an enumeration and distribution of mosses in Pachamalai Hills, field visits were carried out from 2013 to 2016 covering all the seasons. The compilation includes 68 species belonging to 42 genera and 21 families. The dominant families with the maximum number of species are Pottiaceae (15), Hypnaceae (9) and Fissidentaceae (9). The genus Fissidens is the dominant one with 8 species. It is interesting to note that 14 moss species of Pachamalai hills belonging to 11 families are newly added to the moss flora of Tamil Nadu.
