Earlier today I posted a list of mosses that are known from herbarium records but not yet observed in BC in the iNaturalist system. After some futzing around with query formats and synonymy and missing data, I have been able to pull habitat and elevation data from the Flora of North America project by querying Moss Species in BC. Some of the data is missing because it was never entered for FNA, but the pasted list below represents all the taxa that have yet to be photographed in BC in iNaturalist. Hopefully it will help if anyone is trying to target. You could probably cut and paste the table and re-sort in your spreadsheet of choice.
