Addenda & Corrigenda
Essex Naturalist 13 (1996)
Two unfortunate and misleading errors occur in K.J. Adams report as flora
recorder entitled Post 1974 additions to the bryophyte and higher plant flora of the
Watsonian vice-counties of North (VC 19) and South (VC 18) Essex in the 1996
Essex Naturalist, pages 39 and 41. In abbreviating subsequent generic names to
the first letter, the VC 18 record for Trichostomopsis umbrosa was inadvertently
placed under Tortella, and the VC 18 record for Cryphaea heteromalla was placed
under Climacium.
