The Mosses & Liverworts of Pembrokeshire
by Sam Bosanquet
Published in 2010, it includes expansive accounts for all 534 bryophyte species then recorded in Vice-county 45, including tetrad distribution maps based on visits to every Pembrokeshire tetrad, and plots of altitudinal range and sporophyte timing. The ecology of species is covered in greater depth than in most comparable county bryophyte Floras. The introductory chapters, which account for over 100 pages, cover the history of bryophyte recording in the county, comparisons with the adjacent Vice-counties of Carmarthenshire and Cardiganshire as well as with the more distant but ecologically similar Cornwall and Caernarvonshire, the biogeography of Pembrokeshire bryophytes and their occurrence in broad habitats, accounts of declining and increasing species, and a review of SSSI bryophyte features in the county. The book is written in an accessible and colloquial style. Copies are available direct from the author for £20, or £15 for BBS members, plus £5.50 P&P.

An invoice including payment details can be emailed to purchasers or posted with a copy of the book. ISBN 978-0-9552022-1-6
The Mosses and Liverworts of Carmarthenshire
by Sam Bosanquet, Jonathan Graham & Graham Motley
Published in 2005, and based on 13 years of recording by the authors, this is the first published book on the mosses and liverworts of Carmarthenshire. Over 600 species, sub-species and varieties of mosses, liverworts and hornworts have been recorded from the county in habitats ranging from coastal dunes to montane crags. The distribution of each species is described, with distribution maps presented for those occurring in five or more tetrads. Accompanying notes include information on habitat, ecology, fertility and significance in a local, Welsh or British context. The Flora is 240 pages long and is illustrated with 32 photographs of key local bryophyte sites and some of our most distinctive species.
