List of bryological publications from Switzerland (list of references on www.swissbryophytes.ch)Determination Keys
Since the moss flora (Amann & Meylan 1918) and the liverwort flora (1924) of Switzerland are somewhat out of date, it can be a laborious task to determine bryophytes from Switzerland, in particular alpine species and species from southern Switzerland close to the italian border. That's why we would like to start a collection of determination keys which includes all species known from Switzerland. This collection is open for everybody and we appreciate any contributions. If you would like to place a key on this page, don't hesitate to contact the webmaster (Markus Gabathuler). The keys may be written in English, German, French or Italian.- Distichium (in german)
- Hedwigiaceae (in german)
- Hypnum (in german)
- Philonotis (in german)
- Tayloria Sect. Dissodon (in german)
Determination keys in special issues of the Meylania:
- The European species of the Calliergon-Scorpidium-Drepanocladus complex (by L. Hedenäs)
- Feldschlüssel für die Bestimmung der Moose in Mooren (von N. Müller, N. Schnyder und C. Schubiger)
- Illustrierter Bestimmungsschlüssel zu den mitteleuropäischen Arten der Gattung Didymodon (von J. Kucera)
- Illustrierter Bestimmungsschlüssel zu den Europäischen Orthotrichum-Arten (von J. Lewinsky-Haapasaari)
