Flora of The United Kingdom

This is the parent page for the list of vascular plants of Britain and Ireland. 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).

    A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.

    Yesterday, December 7, 1941Ma date that will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    In the whole vast dome of living nature there reigns an open violence, a kind of prescriptive fury which arms all the creatures to their common doom: as soon as you leave the inanimate kingdom you find the decree of violent death inscribed on the very frontiers of life.
    Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
