Summary "A Synopsis of the British Mosses" by Charles C. P. Hobkirk is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This comprehensive work aims to provide detailed descriptions of all the genera and species of mosses found in Great Britain and Ireland, focusing on the rarer varieties. The manual serves as a practical guide for both experienced bryologists and novices, facilitating the study and identification of these plants. The opening of the volume introduces the author’s intentions, emphasizing that the manual should be regarded as a succinct reference for moss collectors and enthusiasts. It outlines the book's dual nature as both an original examination and a compilation, depending on works from respected sources such as Wilson's "Bryologia Britannica." The preface thanks various contributors for their support while inviting ongoing collaboration from fellow collectors to enrich future publications regarding the geographical distribution of British mosses. Overall, it sets a scholarly tone for the meticulous descriptions of individual moss species that will follow throughout the work. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
