Funaria (Product Code: SCL476/0201) is a laminated wall chart used to teach Funaria, the common moss that syllabuses use as the standard example of the bryophytes, in school and college botany classes. Because Funaria forms low green cushions on damp walls and flowerpots, students can compare the 75 x 100 cm polyart chart with plants they collect themselves. It is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

A Funaria lesson usually begins with the part of the plant students can see: the small leafy shoot, which is the gametophyte, held to the ground by thread-like rhizoids instead of true roots. From there the teacher moves to the sporophyte, which grows from the tip of a shoot as a slender stalk, the seta, ending in a capsule. The chart is a convenient reference for pointing out that this sporophyte stays attached to the gametophyte and depends on it, and for explaining how spores released from the capsule germinate into a green, thread-like protonema that buds into new leafy shoots.
For a quick practical, collect moss from a wet wall and let students separate a single shoot under a hand lens or on a slide, then compare what they found with the chart. Placed next to the Marchantia liverwort chart, it helps the class list the differences between mosses and liverworts, and it belongs in any biology chart set a school uses for plant-kingdom teaching, alongside the pteridophyte and gymnosperm charts as part of its botany lab equipment.
Funaria is one of the botany charts that Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited — trading as ScienceLab — manufactures as an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers buy it from the factory rather than from a stockist, and quotations, repeat orders and matching copies for additional rooms all come from the same manufacturer. The company profile explains who we are.

Is the Funaria chart about a moss or a liverwort?
The Funaria chart shows a moss. Funaria’s gametophyte is an upright leafy shoot, whereas many liverworts, such as Marchantia, grow as a flat, ribbon-like thallus; the separate Liverwort (Marchantia) chart covers that group for side-by-side comparison.
What is the Funaria chart printed on?
The Funaria chart is printed on polyart with a laminated finish, and the sheet measures 75 x 100 cm. The lamination gives a wipeable surface, so the chart can stay on a classroom or laboratory wall through regular handling.
Is the Funaria chart suitable for younger students?
Yes, with teacher guidance. Mosses are easy to collect locally, so even junior classes can link the Funaria chart to plants they have handled, while senior classes can use it to move on to the alternation of generations.
Can we see the Funaria chart artwork or label language before ordering?
Yes, please ask first. The product details for the Funaria chart do not state its labels or language, so request the current artwork through the contact page before you confirm an order, especially if your syllabus uses specific terms.
Who manufactures the Funaria chart?
The Funaria chart is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), which is the OEM and makes it at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. You deal directly with the manufacturer when ordering code SCL476/0201 or asking for replacement copies.
How should we order the Funaria chart for several rooms?
Add the Funaria chart to the enquiry cart and state the number of copies you need for each room or campus. Several charts can be combined in one quotation, which the manufacturer prepares for delivery within India or to international markets.
How should the Funaria chart be stored when not on display?
Keep the Funaria chart flat or loosely rolled in a dry place when it is not on display. Avoid folding or creasing, which can mark the lamination, and wipe off dust with a soft cloth before hanging it again.
