Illustrations of Fox Ridge State Park Mosses, Coles County, Illinois

This thesis is a continuation of a study done by Dave A. Breen, B. S., M.S. in Botany (1985). Breen studied and collected the bryophytes of Fox Ridge State Park which is located aproximately 8 miles south of Charleston, Illinois in Coles County (Sec. 11, 12 and 13, T11N, R9E.). Breen found sixty eight species of mosses, one species new to Illinois and nine species new to Coles County. This additional illustrative work covers Breen\u27s general taxonomic study. It is to be utilized in the identification of those mosses of the Fox Ridge State Park. Techniques used in illustrations were ink line drawings highlighted by stipples and pen strokes to produce good three dimensional effects
