Bryophytes are no longer considered a category, so that Liverworts and Mosses are no longer treated as Classes of a single taxonomic group, but as separate groups (Divisions), with the term "bryophyte" referring to commonalities of structure and life cycle rather than evolutionary origin. There have been a substantial number of changes to the scientific names of species and their family placement since the publication of the booklet in 1992; the names here are based on the British Bryological Society checklist as of May 2012.
Although A.V. Smith did some work in 1992, there was no systematic recording of the bryophytes of Sutton Park between the death of J.H. Field, whose records date to before 1990, and surveys in 2013 and 2014 by D.A. Callaghan.
