New Zealand Moss Identification

Identifying mosses can be challenging. Here are some useful resources:

The Mosses of New Zealand (Jessica Beever, KW Allison & John Child) - species descriptions, diagrams, key (e-version available here)

NZ Flora - keys, species descriptions, diagrams (not all species yet). Available as pdfs.

Mosses and other bryophytes: an illustrated glossary (Bill & Nancy Malcolm) (available here)

iNaturalist - photos, text, help with identifications

University of Auckland - photos & text of some species

New Zealand Plant Conservation Network - only some species, and not all with photographs as yet

Conservation status of New Zealand mosses, 2014 (Rolfe, Fife, Beever. Brownsey, Hitchmough) - species status, rather than identification
