Workshop report

The 2005 taxonomic workshop, held in Cambridge on 25-27 February, was devoted to the plants traditionally considered to be the northern European members of the Amblystegiaceae. We were most fortunate in having Dr Lars Hedenäs from the Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm , as our guide for the weekend, and many of us came armed with his recent account of some of these species in Meylania.

Sixteen participants met on Friday 25 February for the ‘optional’ field excursion to Roydon Common National Nature Reserve, West Norfolk (v.-c. 28), kindly arranged by Robin Stevenson.
