Leaderfoot, Roxburgh, 15 February 2015

More to follow when the boxes are opened, but for now  a quick storyboard of a successful day out in the County of Roxburgh, including my first hornwort and a lovely Anomodon viticulosus. Other nice finds of the day included Homalia trichomanoides, Fissidens crassipes, Phascum cuspidatum and an as-yet-unidentified Ephemerum.
