MOSSES COMMON TO NORTH AMERICA AND JAPAN 



By E. Iishiba. Edited by John M. Holzinger 



Japan and North America face each other, separated by the Pacific Ocean. 

 As they are in the same latitude, there are many resemblances in weather and 

 climate. And, as a natural result, many of the same species of plants, especially 

 mosses, are found in both countries. The following is a list of such mosses:
