Australian Biological Resources Study

Key to the Genera of Australian Mosses

OUT OF PRINT

The first illustrated identification guide to the 291 genera of mosses known from Australia and its island territories. Primary diagnostic characters are accompanied by 50–80-word descriptions of the morphology and anatomy of the gametophyte and sporophyte. Substratum preferences are indicated, and the current diversity and broad-scale distribution within Australia and its Territories are outlined.

A selected bibliography of checklists, monographs and other publications of particular relevance to Australia is included. The key is supplemented by many colour illustrations.
