Botanical Report for 2014

摘要

The greater part of all botanical recording activity during 2014 was directed towards achievini good coverage for the forthcoming Atlas 2020. This has resulted in a great many new records but mainly for more common-place plants in areas which have been less well recorded. All records for rare and scarce plants have been published in the 3rd Edition of the Rare Plants Register (Middleton & Cook 2015). There was, of course, the occasional surprise. Among these was a clump of Monk's-hood Aconitum napellus on the verge at Thwing; obviously ar introduction but matching a herbarium specimen collected by Professor Ron Good from this locality in 1956! The 'square bashing' also provided useful records for Spiny Restharrow Ononis spinosa and Lesser Hawkbit Leontodon saxatilis on the Humber banks at Paull Fort. Less welcome was the large quantity of New Zealand Pigmyweed Crassula helmsii in the village pond at Fimber (John Killingbeck).
