Amount of chlorophyll concentration content studied in the six species of the classes anthocerotae, hepaticae and musci from the different localities of Purander fort, Maharashtra. It has been found that the total chlorophyll content is more in Pogonatum aloides Hedw. of musci compared to Anthoceros erectus Kash., Folioceros khandalensis Kash. of anthocerotae and Plagiochasma articulatum Kash. P. simulensis Kash. of hepaticae. The most maximum amount of chlorophyll-a is in P. simulnensis and minimum amount of chlorophyll-a is in A.erectus. Similarly, chlorophyll-b is higher in F. khandalensis and lower in P. articulatum. Chlorophyll activity is higher in hepaticae class. The light plays an important key role overall in this present chlorophyll estimation. Chlorophyll a:b ratio in P. articulatum shows maximum amount and less in A. erectus, whereas Funaria hygrometrica Hedw. has medium ratio.
