Marchantia, the most important genus of family Marchantiaceae is represented by about 65 species. The name Marchantia was given in honour of Nicolas Merchant, director of botanical garden of Gaston d’ Orleans in Blois, France.
All species are terrestrial and cosmopolitan in distribution. The species prefer to grow in moist and shady places like wet open woodlands, banks of streams, wood rocks or on shaded stub rocks. These grow best after the forest fire in the burnt soil. It is perhaps because of nitrification of soil due to fire (Richard, 1958).
In India, Marchantia is represented by about 11 species (Chopra, 1943). Udar (1970) reported only 6 species from different parts of the country. These species are commonly found growing’ in the Himalayan region at an altitude of 4000-8000 feet. Eastern Himalayan region particularly supports the growth of these species.
Some species are also found growing in plains of Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and hilly regions of South India.
Some of the common Indian species are M. palmata, M. polymorpha, M. simlana etc. M. polymorpha is most widely distributed species. M. polymorpha var aquatic grows submerged in swampy meadows. The thalli with gemma cups are found throughout the year whereas the thalli with sex organs occur abundantly during February to March in Himalayas and October to November in hills of South India.
