Review (by Malcolm Storey) | Keys to the entire European bryophyte and pteridophyte flora in a single, 500-page volume - hardly surprisingly there are no species accounts! But there are copious drawings and alternative keys for some groups, and each species entry decribes its status on Britain and Ireland. |
Examine | Compound Microscope ( Stereo Microscope is also useful) |
Specimen Preparation | Most bryophytes require microscopic examination of leaf shape and cell structure. Pteridophytes can largely be identified on sight, perhaps with the aid of a hand lens. |
