Topic: New moss species/genus

Hi Chris,

I have a record of a moss new to Britain to add

Crossidium squamiferum Juratzka, 1882 (taken from gbif)

Genus Crossidium is also new

Can you add these please and also remind me what I need to do in Recorder to add this to my version?

Thanks

Re: New moss species/genus

Hi Gordon,

Blimey you're quick off the mark - it was only discovered in June! ;) 

Crossidium Jur.
tvk NHMSYS0020978993

Crossidium squamiferum Juratzka, 1882
tvk NHMSYS0020978999

There you go - those are the TVKs but we'll just need an experienced Recorder6 user to give you the instructions on how to edit the taxonomy and put in the new species ... that's a bit outside my comfort zone :)

Best wishes,
Chris R.
