The two subspecies of the leafy liverwort, Scapania ligulata Steph., namely, subsp. ligulata and subsp. stephanii (Mull Frib.) Potemkin, Piippo & T.J. Kop., collected from the Kumaun and adjacent region in Western Himalaya, India are being described and compared. The report of the presence of the subspecies stephanii in this region confirms the fact that the ligulata-stephanii species complex having both subspecies migrated to Himalaya. The paper provides some additional distinctive features between the two subspecies.
