The Flora of North America Editorial Center for Bryophytes is now hosted by the Missouri Botanical Garden. Please direct all inquiries to Lead Editor Richard H. Zander, Missouri Botanical Garden, PO Box 299, St. Louis, MO 63166-0299, email: richard.zander@mobot.org.

The Center coordinates and facilitates the preparation, by more than 80 specialists worldwide, of volumes 27, 28 and 29 of the Flora of North America (FNA). The FNA is a projected 30-volume compendium of information on the native and introduced plants of North America north of Mexico, including Greenland.

FNA volumes 27, 28 and 29 concern nearly 1900 species of North American bryophytes: the mosses, liverworts and hornworts, and together are called the Bryophyte Flora of North America. Descriptions, illustrations and maps aid in species identification and evaluation of species biodiversity. This Web site supports peer-reviewed "Provisional Publication" of the treatments as they are being finished, before eventual publication as bound volumes by Oxford University Press. Volume 27 appeared in hard copy from Oxford University Press in July 2007. See frontispiece below.

This Web site is for the authors, editors and reviewers of the BFNA, and also for the public, which supports the work and will use it in education, and to guide human interaction with our environment. The FNA Bryophyte Editorial Center in St. Louis is crewed by Richard H. Zander, Lead Editor, and Patricia M. Eckel, Illustrator.

Taxon Editors are Claudio Delgadillo M., UNAM, Mexico City; Terry McIntosh, University of British Columbia, Vancouver; Lloyd Stark, University of Nevada at Las Vegas; and Dale Vitt, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. The Nomenclatural Editor is Marshall Crosby, Missouri Botanical Garden.
