The order Ophioglossales is most primitive of the pteridophytes but is found completely absent in the fossil record. It comprises a single family with three representative genera: Botrychium, Helminthostachys and Ophioglossum. About 40 species of Ophioglossum are recorded worldwide, of which 12 species are documented in India. Gujarat accounts for six species and one variety.

Abstract


The order Ophioglossales is most primitive of the pteridophytes but is found completely absent in the fossil record. It comprises a single family with three representative genera: Botrychium, Helminthostachys and Ophioglossum. About 40 species of Ophioglossum are recorded worldwide, of which 12 species are documented in India. Gujarat accounts for six species and one variety.
