Synopsis

Explore detailed illustrations and expert dissections of British mosses, with practical guidance for study and collection.

It blends clear plant descriptions, habit notes, and the anatomy of stems, leaves, capsules, and peristomes to help readers identify specimens and understand their structure. The text is complemented by plate references showing natural size plants, leaf forms, capsules, and other key features.

In addition to the taxonomic overview, the work offers practical advice for moss collecting, drying, mounting, and preparing specimens for study or herbarium use. It explains how to set up observations under a lens or microscope and how to dissect and compare essential plant parts to determine genus.
What you will experience:

Focus on habit, leaf arrangement, capsule structure, and peristome details
