Mosses and Liverworts of Britain and Ireland: A Field Guide

Produced by a team of expert bryologists, this long awaited up-to-date, user friendly guide to identifying British and Irish bryophtes in the field, will become the definitive guide. Illustrated with hundreds of colour photographs. One entry per page which includes colour photographs, black and white drawings showing what species look like, together with notes on how to identify and distinguish similar species, habitat notes and distribution maps. The introductory section includes a illustrative gallery of some common brtophytes, for beginners not confident in the use of a key, as well as a general field key to common and distintive mosses and liverworts and another field key to most sphagnum mosses. At the rear of the book are tables with habitat lists plus index.
