Summary
Both the known species ofTœnioma, T. perpusillum J. Ag. andT. nanum (Kuetz.) Papenfuss, are here reported for the first time from India. General features of thallus organisation in both species are described in detail. The development of tetrasporangia in T.Perpusillum is described. In general, the writers’ observations are in agreement with those of Papenfuss. The taxonomy of the genus is discussed and the authors agree with Papenfuss in keeping the two species distinct.
