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).

Famous quotes containing the words flora of, flora, united and/or kingdom:

    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.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    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.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    When, in some obscure country town, the farmers come together to a special town meeting, to express their opinion on some subject which is vexing to the land, that, I think, is the true Congress, and the most respectable one that is ever assembled in the United States.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It was many and many a year ago,
    In a kingdom by the sea,
    That a maiden there lived whom you may know
    By the name of Annabel Lee;
    And this maiden she lived with no other thought
    Than to love and be loved by me.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
