description <p>Enggano Island is one of the outer islands  that belongs to the Province of Bengkulu. Furthermore, there is very limited information about the diversity of bryophyte from Sumatera, especially in lowland forest, Enggano Island. The aim of this research was to provide the initial information related to the diversity of bryophytes in Enggano. The research was conducted in six forests i.e. primary, secondary and degraded forests. The results showed that 32 number of collection from 14 families, 21 genera, and 32 species were identified. Leceuneaceae was common family for liverworts while the mosses family was dominated by Hypnaceae. None of the hornworts were found in this study. Some species identified (<em>Taxyphyllum</em> sp., <em>Vesicularia</em> sp., <em>Riccardia</em> sp., and <em>Thuidium</em> sp.) have the potential benefit and biological activity. Two genera were new records to Sumatra, <em>Gongylanthus, </em>and<em> Symphyogyna</em>. Moreover, <em>Gongylanthus</em> sp. and <em>Symphyogyna</em> sp. have important records related to the habitat.</p><p><strong>How to Cite</strong></p><p>Nadhifah, A., &amp; Surya, M. I. (2016).
