Twisted oak moss (Syntrichia laevipila) COSEWIC assessment and status report: chapter 18

Record of Field Work

Together, W. Miles and T. McIntosh visited many of her collection sites (Miles 2001, on October 1, and 2, and on December 12, 2002). Miles investigated additional sites on October 14, and 26 and on December 3, 2002. Field work was also undertaken by T. McIntosh on Salt Spring Island (May 3 - 4, June 6 - 8, and October 13, 2002), in the Duncan area in June, 2002, and in the disjunct Garry oak stand at Yale a number of times in 2000 and 2001 (once with W. B. Schofield), before this report was initiated. Searches for this moss are ongoing. Since Syntrichia laevipila was previously thought to be restricted to Garry oak in Canada, associated tree species were only occasionally inspected for the presence of this moss.
