Flora of Australia Supplementary

Numerous taxonomic revisions and a substantial amount of additional floristic information have become available since the publication of Streimann & Curnow's "Catalogue of Mosses of Australia and its External Territories" in 1989. Monographs of Australian families and genera have included descriptions of many new taxa and the reduction of an even larger number of names to synonymy. Moreover, many taxa have been newly reported from Australia, while other Australian records have proved to be based on misidentifications or could not otherwise be confirmed. Taxonomic revisions from other regions have also resulted in many name changes among Australian taxa, and floristic research has provided numerous new State and Territory records.
An account of the 69 species of moss known from subtropical Norfolk Island, an Australian territory in the south-western Pacific Ocean. Illustrated in colour and with numerous habit and anatomical drawings and distribution maps, it includes an introduction to the island and the history of bryological activity, identification keys to genera and species, detailed and synoptic species descriptions, specimen citations and information on habitat preferences and local and global distribution.
