Synopsis
Excerpt from The British Moss-Flora, Vol. 1: Acrocarpi I. Andreæaceæ, Buxbaumiaceæ, Georgiaceæ, Polytrichaceæ, Fissidentaceæ, Leucobryaceæ, Dicranaceæ, Tortulaceæ, Weberaceæ
The great want of a guide to our recently much-extended Moss Flora, and the solicitation of numerous friends, have induced the Author to commence a work which he trusts will meet the requirements of all who study these interesting plants.
The cell structure of the leaves, so important in the distinction of genera and species, will receive due attention both in the figures and descriptions, and the bibliography, while not attempting to be exhaustive, will be ampler than has hitherto appeared in any British work; the records of localities for all but common species will also be numerous, the mark after any of these indicates that the specimen has been examined, and that it is also in the Author's herbarium.
In the nomenclature, the oldest published name has been adopted when there were no sound reasons to the contrary, and it is greatly to be deplored that so little attention has been paid to the laws drawn up for our guidance, for an author is not at liberty to change a specific name on transferring it to a new genus, nor to supersede by a new name, one previously published, even by himself.
