There are many database of future climate models enlisted in following link. http://www.worldclim.org/cmip5_30s#2050
Among these which one would be best to work with in case of cryptogams.
Dear Prakash,
Take a look at three climatic databases and see their strengths and weakness:
ecoClimate.org (compatible layers since Pliocene to the future - 2100)
worldClim.org (reliable layer at high resolution for present-day)
climond.org (a wider range of 40 bioclimatic variables for future, which may be interesting for modeling plant species)

Hi Prakash,
You need to use many models (most you can) and make an average from them.
Sincerely,
N
Hi Prakash,
Yes use an ensemble of the better models that are available, but don't use all variables. Choose those that have biological reasoning for your organism. Average temperatures and precipitations mean little, so use those that describe extreme events that limit your organism. Average temperature of the warmest period, minimum temperature of the coldest period, temperature variability, precipitation variability, precipitation of the wettest and driest periods. Avoid composite variables where they are based on the precipitation of the warmest or coldest period or temperature of the wettest or driest period as these datasets are internally flawed.
