A must have for any hobby bryologist Review: Very Usable, also covers the Upper Midwest - What Roger Tory Peterson did for birds so many years ago Drs. Rohrer and McKnight have done for mosses: providing the first comprehensive field guide. Covering 200 species common to the Northeast, Appalachians, and Upper Midwest this breakthrough work provides a systematic means for differentiating between a bewildering array of these beautiful primitive plants. All aspects of this guide, from writing to photography, line drawings, and sturdy binding will please the avid field guide user. There are two versions of this book: one is spiral bound and the other (currently offered by desertcart) has a standard binding/cover with a clear vinyl dust jacket. Either will fit handily into a pack pocket. Besides morphologic identifying features, the guide also indicates the typical habitat each moss is found in. For the gardener, this book builds on books of the past two decades (Schenk, Cullina) that have taught us how to use moss in garden or path as a ground-cover grass-alternative, by enabling us to know which moss one has found and whether it might be appropriate for a desired garden setting. If you're on the fence about purchasing this book a glance at the "look inside" feature of desertcart's entry will convince you how beautifully laid out it is. In detail: The first 30 pages are an introduction to mosses and how to use the book. The next 300 are species entries, each comprising a two page spread: To the left of the binding are multiple photographs and line drawings, all excellent; On the right are: scientific and common name, overall appearance, leaves, capsules, habitat, similar species and microscopic features. The species are organized according to morphology with color coded tabs extending to the front page margins for easy navigation. The next 40 pages are dichotomous keys which I personally found to speed up the identification process. 4 pages of species lists for each of 10 different habitats (bogs, forest floor, etc). 5 pages of index. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #119,923 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in General Northeast US Travel Guides #37 in General Canada Travel Books #203 in Outdoors & Nature Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 207 Reviews | ## Images ![Common Mosses of the Northeast and Appalachians (Princeton Field Guides) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/911HJW-uykL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous book *by A***. on March 6, 2026* Beautifully presented and thoroughly researched.

There we have a plethora of many mosses and the guide provides a simple and direct way to determine what one sees. Basically there is a branch and leaf type guide on the edges of the pages and nicely color coded so that determining a species is very straightforward. The photos are clear and detailed and the specifics detail the plant at visual and microscopic levels. The book is sturdy for field use and is useful for both beginners and those with more experience in the field. The only negative is that is is a bit heavy and thick but the detail is worth the extra few ounces. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/2168334-common-mosses-of-the-northeast-and-appalachians-princeton-field-guides](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/2168334-common-mosses-of-the-northeast-and-appalachians-princeton-field-guides) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
