Description
Excerpt from Mosses With a Hand-Lens: A Non-Technical Handbook of the More Common and More Easily Recognized Mosses of the Northeastern United States
The freshness which a summer shower brings to the land scape is largely due to the unfolding of the mosses on tree and fence and boulder from patches of lifeless brown into soft cushions Of living green.
Many lovers Of nature have Observed the beauty Of mosses and have collected them for their beauty alone. Many more would have collected and studied them had not the difficulties been so numerous and hard to overcome. Until very recently there has been no literature in the English language that was suited to the needs of the beginner. Owing to the small size of most mosses, the characters which separate species and even genera are so largely microscopic that a compound microscope has been considered an absolute necessity for their study.
