The natural features of the county are such as promise a much richer record ; the wide moorlands of the northern portion of the county will probably yield many species not recorded below, and the valleys of the Dove, the Manyfold and the Churnet have been only partially examined; these districts alone if fully explored should very materially increase the record. The total number here recorded is only 82 species and varieties, being little more than one-third of those recorded for Great Britain. The more rare of these are Lejeunia Mackaii, Kantia arguta, Scapania curia, Cephalozia lunulcefolia, Jungermania cordifolia and Fossombronia cristata. So little has been done in the study of this group of plants in the neighbouring counties as to render any attempt at a comparison of little real value.
