The paper deals with the morphotaxonomical studies on nine species of mosses, viz. Atrichurn undulatum (Hedw.) P. Beauv. var. hausknechtii (Jur. & Mild.) Frye (Polytrichaceae), Macromitrium moorcroftii (Hook. & Grew.) Schwaegr. (Orthotrichaceae), Timmia megapolitana Hedw. (Timmiaceae), Pohlia gedeana (Bosch & Lac.) Gangulee (Bryaceae), Bartramidula bartramioides (Griff.) Wijk & Marg. (Bartramiaceae), Claopodium prionophyllum (C. Muell.) Broth. (Thuidiaceae), Plagiothecium neckeroidium B.S.G. (Plagiotheciaceae), Hypnum cupressiforme Hedw. (Hypnaceae) and Regmatodon orthostegius Mont. (Leskeaceae), from Gobind National Park in Uttarkashi district of Uttaranchal, India. This constitutes the first record of bryophytes from this protected area situated in the Garhwal Himalaya. Pohlia gedeana (Bosch & Lac.)
