This practical pocket-guide introduces the reader to the rich variety of mosses found throughout Britain’s damp woodlands, riverbanks, and upland slopes.

With a focus on field identification and ecological context, this compact volume serves as both a scientific reference and a practical guide for anyone engaged in the study or conservation of bryophytes. First published at the end of the nineteenth century, Handbook of Mosses presents these often-overlooked plants with clarity and structure, making them accessible to students and surveyors alike.

The third part of E. M. Holmes’ seminal British Fungi, Lichens and Mosses (1886), this smaller volume is especially suited to those building knowledge in botany, habitat monitoring, or the quiet complexities of non-flowering plant life.
