Identification keys

This website contains a number of identification keys, which have been extracted from the literature, and sometimes translated from the original language.   Many of them are quite old, but represent the only available key.   It is hoped in the longer term that these will be replaced by more recent keys, following taxonomic revisions.

Pleurocarpous mosses are the best served, and there is very little for hepatics.
