Bryophytes

Our bryophyte collection is 100% databased and served through Consortium of Bryophyte Herbaria.

Specimens can be imaged upon request. 

Most of our collection is from Northern California, with strong representation from the Western US. We house the bryofloras of two University of California Reserve units: Stebbins Cold Canyon and Quail Ridge Reserves and Henry Coe State Park (donated by John McLaughlin). Notable collectors: T.C. Frye (N. America), F.R. Fosberg (French Polynesia), G.H. Snodgrass (California) Jack Major (northern Alaska, arctic Canada and Antarctica), A.T. Whittemore (California), and S.P. Rae (California). Other notable collections include tardigrade host species, collected by D.S. Horning and colleagues of the Bohart Museum of Entomology in New Zealand, oceanic islands and Antarctica in the 1970's.
