FLORA OF NORTH AMERICA,VOLUME 28 PUBLISHED

Flora of North America North of Mexico Volume 28, Bryophyta, part 2, has
been sent to Oxford University Press  for printing.. This marks the 17th
volume to be published in a 30-volume set for the Flora of North America
series. The volume has 702 pages covering 48 families, 206 genera, and 698
species. With the publication of this volume, the treatment of mosses for
the flora area is complete with a total of 1402 species in 333 genera
classified in 81 families. Of the 1402 species, 273 (19.5%) are endemic to
the flora area, and 36 are globally at risk of extinction.

The work on Volume 28 was coordinated by lead editor Richard Zander; all of
the 366 illustrations were drawn by Patricia Eckel. Ariel Buback was the
Technical Editor for Volume 28. Dr. James Zarucchi, as Editorial Director,
and Heidi Schmidt, Managing Editor, oversaw all aspects of production. More
than 40 authors wrote treatments for the volume.

Vol. 27 and 28 (the mosses) gather together and present in a unified fashion
information from the past 50 years of bryological study. Major advances have
occurred in understanding the Western moss flora, particularly the discovery
of new and previously missed species in California and the Pacific coastal
areas of the Northwest of North America. These significant western species
are preferentially illustrated in the FNA.

The volumes  finally integrate the modern understanding of mosses in North
America north of Mexico, including Greenland, with recent major moss floras,
such as those of Australia, Belarus, China, Central America, India, Israel,
Japan, Malesia, Mexico, European Russia, Scandinavia, South Africa, and U.K.

Flora of North America north of Mexico is published by Oxford University
Press. All published volumes can be purchased from OUP, and advance orders
for Volume 28 can be placed with them.
