This is a simple to use multi-access computer key that enables the user to find the species name of any British or Irish lichen. It is divided into field and microscopical characters and any information available may be entered in any order to obtain a solution. With the majority of species, a few characters, noted in the field, are sufficient to identity the species. A brief note on each species further assists separation of similar species.
Version 3 includes:
*Revised and expanded data
*Conservation evaluation from A Conservation Evaluation of British Lichens by RG Woods and BJ Coppins for each species
*Over 750 colour photos added with a scale
*Updated distribution maps
