A magnificently illustrated guide to the bryophyte species found across the world

Bryophytes are a highly diverse group of plants found in nearly all parts of the world and across a range of habitats. The term "bryophyte" describes plants of three closely related lineages: the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Ancient in their makeup, bryophytes disperse by spores rather than seeds and grow no more than a few centimeters high, carpeting forest floors or clinging to rocks and tree trunks. Instead of conducting fluids internally (like vascular plants), they absorb water and nutrients externally across the whole body of the plant. Such strategies have enabled bryophytes to survive, and indeed thrive, through the millennia. Mosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts of the World makes sense of their miniature world, differentiating between the three lineages and delving into their evolution, anatomy, and life cycles. The result is an unprecedented in-depth look at these exquisitely beautiful and often overlooked organisms.

  • Features hundreds of stunning color photos of mosses, liverworts, and hornworts
  • Profiles individual genera across the three groups, including fact boxes and distribution maps
  • Written by a world-renowned expert

Joanna Wilbraham is an active member of the British Bryological Society and Principal Curator at the Natural History Museum, London, where she leads the curatorial team responsible for the cryptogamic groups of algae, bryophytes, and lichens. At just over two million specimens, this is one of the most significant research collections of its kind in the world.
