About the talk – The recent progress in the studies of diversity, evolution, phylogeny and conservation of bryophytes, with a focus on the moss subgroup, will be reviewed and presented. Important biological lessons learned from the study of bryophytes, past and present, and the correction of misconceptions given to this group of spore producing and non- vascular plants, will be discussed. Finally, hot topics of research in bryology will also be introduced.

Always good to have news of Benito Tan – old friend from Harvard – who has done fine work on mosses and other bryophytes. The photo is excellent – like Dr. S.Y. Hu at Hong Kong, Asia seems healthy for many botanists and biologists!
