California bryophytes;  Pacific NW crustose lichens:

> I don't recall if I mentioned earlier that I had a call from Jim Shevock
> (former R5 regional botanist) who told me that he has a new book on
> bryophytes coming out in October.  He said it is based on California's
> bryophyte flora, but will be applicable to most of the western states
> (though it won't have all your bryophytes).  He said it uses the leaf shape
> (and central vein?) as essentially a "picture key" to identify the species,
> and leads you to excellent close-up photographs of the species.  About 250
> pages!  He said he'd send out an email message when it is available, so
> stay tuned.

> I also just got the following flyer from Roger Rosentreter.  Looks like he
> and Bruce McCune have a new book out on soil crust "crustose" lichens, and
> that they plan to publish additional books by lichenologists on a sporadic
> basis.
