MOSS and LIVERWORTS

This section will illustrate some the Mosses and Liverworts found in Ireland. It is still under construction and more species and details will be added. Many of the species do not have common names so they are arranged alphabetically by scientific name.
Thank you to John O'Reilly (Ptyxis ecological consultancy) for confirming and correcting identifications, December 2009
