Most common mosses by Vice County

The following mosses are in every British (all 112) and Irish (all 40) vice county, including VC300, which I assume is offshore but I don't know what it is. It may refer to the Channel Islands, which I see referred to as VC113 somewhere else. These are taken from the Census spreadsheet of 2013.

My thinking is that as a beginner the first task should be to learn these, and I have come across most of them at least in a very short time - seems like a reasonable foundation for spotting the less common ones and being able to contrast and compare.

(note there are 361 species - moss only - in VC85 in the census)
