Welcome to Checklist of the mosses of sub-Saharan Africa

The 'Checklist of the mosses of sub-Saharan Africa' was published by Brian O'Shea in 2006. We are hoping to be able to put the checklist online here but these are the early days of testing the system.  Please do not use these data yet, there are still many problems to correct!  

In the meantime, a PDF of the checklist is available here to download.
