The purpose of the research is to explain the diversity of  terrestrial bryoflora in the tropical zone (at altitude 750 m asl, 980 m asl, and 1100 m asl). The method for bryoflora sampling used quadrate with purposive sampling method. The result on this research  in tropical zone of Ungaran mount found 50 spesies of bryoflora that were identified in to three division : Bryophyta, Marchantiophyta, and Anthocerophyta. The percentage of the Bryophyta that was found are: Bryophyta 56 % (34 species), Marchantiophyta 40 % (15 species), and Anthocerophyta 4 % (1 species). Based on the height of station were identified 26 species at altitude 750 m asl, 17 species at altitude 980 m asl, and 24 species at altitude 1100 m asl.
