Abstract
Bryum stellituber Arts sp. nov. is described from India. The plant belongs to the Bryum erythrocarpum complex, characterised by the occurrence of red star-shaped rhizoidal tubers with conical projecting outer cells. It was collected in a terrestrial moss community with Bryum sauteri B.,S.&G. and Dicranella staphylina Whiteh. The latter two are first records for India.
