NOTES Abundance categories Nomenclature follows New Flora of the British Isles 3rd ed. (C.Stace, 2010, CUP), except for x common Beruladium procurrens frequent This list omits species absent from all four recording areas, very obscure aliens/casuals and occasional subspecies rare - less than 7-8 sites/tetrads Species in italics are not native (neophytes) to the country according to New Atlas of the very rare - less than 3-4 sites/tetrads British and Irish Flora (Preston, Pearman, Dines. OUP, 2002) extinct - not recorded since c.1950 or known to no longer occur Archaeophytes have been treated as if native (eg. Aegopodium, Foeniculum, Smyrnium olusatrum ) Many aliens are non-persistent casuals from bird seed, escapes from cultivation etc
