Liverworts of New England: A Guide for the Amateur Naturalist, by Mary
S. G. Lincoln
This lavishly illustrated book (more than 100 color photos, more than
200 line drawings and maps) is a book for those who are beginning to
look at the fascinating, diverse world of liverworts and hornworts. In
explanations that neither intimidate nor oversimplify, the author
describes the nearly 200 species in 62 genera found in diverse habitats
throughout the six New England states. The emphasis is on features that
can be seen with a hand lens, thus allowing the curious naturalist
without a compound microscope to study these small plants, in all their
complexity, diversity, and beauty. The author describes the plants in
clear terms, and the book includes a glossary for less experienced users
and simple keys for the identification of common species.
