Workshop report

This workshop was planned by Tom Blockeel and Sam Bosanquet in response to dramatic changes in our Orthotrichum flora over the past two decades. Not only are many species now much more abundant than during most of the 20th century, but the past ten years have seen the discovery of two species new to Britain and the rediscovery of a third, as well as one species new to science. One of the aims of the workshop was to encourage participants to search for the less common members of the genus and to be aware of potential new arrivals.
