Identification notes

Note that this is the species formerly referred to as E. minutissimum. The species formerly referred to as E. serratum is now called E. stoloniferum!

In 2010 Dr David Holyoak reviewed the taxonomy of some European species of Ephemerum and his nomenclature has been adopted in the current BBS checklist of bryophytes. It is recommended that his paper (downloadable below) is consulted when attempting to identify any British or Irish Ephemerum collection.
