Flora of Great Britain and Ireland
The flora of Great Britain and Ireland is one of the best documented in the world. There are 1390 native species and over 1100 well-established non-natives documented on the islands. A bibliographic database of the species is compiled by the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland.[1] Because of the size of the list, it is spread across multiple pages.
- Part 1 covers ferns and allies (Lycopodiopsida, Equisetopsida and Pteridopsida)
- Part 2 covers the conifers (Pinopsida)
The remaining parts cover the flowering plants (Magnoliopsida):
- Part 3, covering a group of dicotyledon families (Lauraceae to Salicaceae)
- Part 4, covering another group of dicotyledon families (Brassicaceae to Saxifragaceae)
- Part 5, covering the dicotyledon family Rosaceae
- Part 6, covering another group of dicotyledon families (Mimosaceae to Dipsacaceae)
- Part 7, covering the dicotyledon family Asteraceae
- Part 8, covering the monocotyledons (Butomaceae to Orchidaceae)
The list gives an English name and a scientific name for each species, and two symbols are used to indicate status (e for extinct species, and * for introduced species).
