Les Bryophytes de France Tome 2 - Pleurocarpes et Sphagnales

This volume presents over 285 species, each accompanied by an illustrated monograph including a detailed morphological description, its distribution in France, its habitats and companion species. Notes on the risks of confusion with closely related taxa, advice on field recognition and synonymic reminders are also included. Readers will also find simplified identification keys, enabling them to identify species step by step.

In addition to the undeniable wealth of information it provides on bryophytes, this book brings together a number of new tools that researchers will find indispensable in their day-to-day work. With over 2200 photographs, this comprehensive guide is an invaluable handbook for the study of bryophytes.

This series fills an absolute gap in botanical literature: there has never been a book devoted to the bryophytes of France. An indispensable reference designed to stimulate the development of this field of study.

This book is the fruit of close collaboration between two authors who have benefited from the support and help of the entire community of European bryologists.
