Introduction to the Schedule of Monographs
(Cryptogamic Plants and Fungi)



The Schedule of Monographs (Cryptogamic Plants and Fungi) provides information on the status of treatments of all families of bryophytes, mosses, pteridophytes, lichens, and fungi occurring in the Neotropics. The lists are arranged alphabetically and present information in three categories. In the case where a family has not been assigned to a specialist, no information is given. For families whose treatments have already been published, a bibliographic reference is provided. Lastly, for families with treatments currently in preparation, the name and address of the principle contributor and the name and organizational affiliation of collaborators are offered.
