A bryophyte flora of South Wiltshire
2001
Stern, R. C.
Wiltshire has been the least known, bryologically, of all the counties in Southern England. The first records were not published until 1891. Since then, a number of bryologists have visited particularly the southern half of the county, which is the Watsonian vice-county 8 (v.-c. 8, South Wiltshire). Early recording was on a haphazard basis and there were many gaps in the coverage. A more systematic and intensive survey was undertaken in v.-c. 8 from the end of 1991 to 1999, using 10-km squares as the basic recording units. Locality details were noted for the less common species. This survey has resulted in nearly 3000 new 10-km square records and some 38 new species for the vice-county. Distribution maps are presented for all taxa except the commonest and the rarest. Lists of localities for the less common species are given.
