The current study on the bryophytes of Kakkayam Forests, Kerala, India revealed about 20 species of these plants documented in the study area. These documented species are classified in 13 families and 15 genera. The current observation also found that out of the 20 documented species 9 are common, 6 are uncommon and 5 are rarely distributed in the study area. More bryo-explorations are essential in unexplored areas for its proper documentation and conservation.
