The Lichens of Jersey. 2015. illus. (col.). 195 p.
More than a flora, this book looks at the habitats and history of the study of lichens on this beautiful island, as well as including a fully illustrated section on the individual lichens of Jersey. Photographs taken by the author. Jersey has a wide range of lichen habitats and the island makes an ideal subject for a book on this fascinating group of organisms. As the birthplace of one of the great nineteenth-century field lichenologists, the Jerseyman Charles du Bois Larbalestier, the importance of Jersey as an area for the study of lichens is underlined.
