Abstract:

 Meto situated in the southeastern Tibet, about  30°N' Lat., enjoys a tropical
climate.  Below 2500m. altitude, there are monsoon rain forests and broad-leaved
evergreen forests, from which the Tibetan scientific expedition has gathered 71 speci-
mens of epiphyllous liverworts representing 26 species and 2 varieties in 13 genera.
This may be considered as a distinct subzone for the epiphyllous liverworts in the
south part of the Tibetan East Himalaya.
