The mosses of Labrador, Canada
A comprehensive review of the mosses of Labrador is presented, incorporating all previously published reports and much new data accumulated during field and herbarium studies since 1970. A total of 348 species of mosses are documented for Labrador, of which 40 are new to that region. Grimmia atrata...
