Zusammenfassung:Splachnobryum obtusum (Brid.) C. Muell. (Splachnobryaceae A.K. Kop.) has been recently collected from Dzongri regions of west district of Sikkim at an altitude of 3732 msl. The collection of this species from such a higher elevation in Sikkim indicates its greater adaptability to survive in a varied range of habitats in Sikkim Himalaya and also an indication for possible climate change. The description of the species along with an illustration is provided in the present paper. Occurrence of the genus Splachnobryum has been recorded for the first time from Sikkim Himalaya and also from a subalpine region.
