| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | A photographic guide illustrating these less popular groups of "plants". The main content illustrates Grasses (including Sedges, Rushes and Reedmace), Ferns (including Clubmosses, Quillworts and Horsetails), for which the coverage is reasonably complete. Mosses (including Liverworts) and Lichens are given short treatments with only a few species illustrated. |
