Moss + Lichen

Moss

Mosses of dry forests in south-eastern Australia

A pocket sized field guide for students and absolute beginners—technically accurate, but free of technical language— this is an attempt to present a little known part of the plant kingdom to a new audience.

The guide contains an introduction explaining the life cycle of mosses and their importance in the ecosystem; tips on how to approach identification; detailed descriptions of common, striking species; and appendices carefully distinguishing mosses from liverworts and lichens. Twenty nine main species are dealt with, each illustrated with multiple photos, and pointers are offered to less common species.
