The present study gives the complete account of Jungermannia (Solenostoma) confertissima Nees. Jungermannia subg. Solenostoma has been a controversial genus. It has been treated differently by various Bryologist from time to time. Amakawa(1960) treated Solenostoma under the genus Jungermannia L. and divided it into 4 sections viz., Protosolenostoma, Desmorhiza, Solenostoma and Nematocaulon(see Amakawa,1967 also). The present species Jungermannia (Solenostoma) confertissima Nees belongs to the section Desmorhiza of Subgenus Solenostoma. The important characteristic of the section are rhizoids arising from stem as well as from the rhizoid initial cells of leaf lamina, the most important identification feature along with rhizoidal characteristics is the monoecious condition of the plants.
