List of Vascular Plants Endemic to Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands 2020
British & Irish Botany 2(3): 169-189, 2020 List of vascular plants endemic to Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands 2020 Timothy C.G. Rich Cardiff, U.K. Corresponding author: Tim Rich: [email protected] This pdf constitutes the Version of Record published on 31st August 2020 Abstract A list of 804 plants endemic to Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands is broken down by country. There are 659 taxa endemic to Britain, 20 to Ireland and three to the Channel Islands. There are 25 endemic sexual species and 26 sexual subspecies, the remainder are mostly critical apomictic taxa. Fifteen endemics (2%) are certainly or probably extinct in the wild. Keywords: England; Northern Ireland; Republic of Ireland; Scotland; Wales. Introduction This note provides a list of vascular plants endemic to Britain, Ireland and the Channel Islands, updating the lists in Rich et al. (1999), Dines (2008), Stroh et al. (2014) and Wyse Jackson et al. (2016). The list includes endemics of subspecific rank or above, but excludes infraspecific taxa of lower rank and hybrids (for the latter, see Stace et al., 2015). There are, of course, different taxonomic views on some of the taxa included. Nomenclature, taxonomic rank and endemic status follows Stace (2019), except for Hieracium (Sell & Murrell, 2006; McCosh & Rich, 2018), Ranunculus auricomus group (A. C. Leslie in Sell & Murrell, 2018), Rubus (Edees & Newton, 1988; Newton & Randall, 2004; Kurtto & Weber, 2009; Kurtto et al. 2010, and recent papers), Taraxacum (Dudman & Richards, 1997; Kirschner & Štepànek, 1998 and recent papers) and Ulmus (Sell & Murrell, 2018). Ulmus is included with some reservations, as many taxa are largely vegetative clones which may occasionally reproduce sexually and hence may not merit species status (cf.

Blackhall-Miles and Ben Ram, www.fossilplants.co.uk Evolution of Sorbus pseudomeinichii Ashley Robertson Timeline of discovery for x Sorbus pseudomeinichii 1901 Johan Hedlund publishes details of two new Sorbus species: S. meinichii from Norway and S. arranensis from Arran, Scotland. Sorbus aucuparia L. Sorbus rupicola (Syme) Hedl. 1957 Edmund Warburg describes a second species unique to Arran, Sorbus x pseudofennica; a backcross between S. aucuparia and S. arranensis 1949 Donald McVean collected a Sorbus in Glen Catacol, it is misidentified as S. arranensis. 1996 Phil Lusby saw McVean’s specimen and suggests it is a hybrid between Sorbus aucuparia Sorbus arranensis Hedl. S. aucuparia and S. pseudofennica. x 2000 Ashley Robertson re-finds tree and two others like it and proves the specimens, through genetic research, to be a back cross between S. aucuparia and S. pseudofennica. 2004 Searches fail to re-find the two additional trees; one had been killed in a Sorbus aucuparia Sorbus pseudofennica E. F. Warb flood and the other presumed to be eaten by deer. 2006 Ashley Robertson publishes Sorbus pseudomeinichii as a new species naming it for its resemblance to Hedlund’s S. meinichii it instantly becomes one of the rarest trees in the world. 2017 Sorbus pseudomeinichii published as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List (www.iucnredlist.orgspecies/79749367/79749371) A leaf from the newly discovered Sorbus pseudomeinichii plant of Sorbus pseudomeinichii 2020 - A special find On the 15th September, whilst visiting Arran to see it’s endemic Sorbus microspecies, two lone, unprotected and heavily grazed Sorbus trees were observed by us near the top of the Catacol burn.

Inland Rock Outcrop and Scree Habitats (Uk Bap Priority Habitat)
INLAND ROCK OUTCROP AND SCREE HABITATS (UK BAP PRIORITY HABITAT) Summary This priority type includes plant communities that are confined or almost confined to inaccessible ledges on cliffs and crags or to screes and boulders. The predominant controlling factor is the base-status of the rock which determines what the vegetation consists of. There are communities of smaller ferns on small ledges, and in crevices, on screes and boulder-fields, and boulder-scree on sheltered slopes where snow lies late in spring. The habitat is common throughout the uplands where extensive glaciation has resulted in steep cliffs and outcrops, screes and block litter, though there are also examples on river cliffs in the lowlands, and the small fern communities can occur on walls and buildings. This priority habitat occurs throughout Scotland from just above sea level to over 1000 m on our highest hills. Rock and scree habitats are home to many rare and uncommon species. Boulder-fields, screes and high ledges where snow lies very late are habitats for snow-tolerant species. This priority habitat is also very important for lichens which are often the dominant life-form. Inland crags are the preferred nesting sites of golden eagle Aquila chrysaetos, sea eagle Haliaeetus albicilla, raven Corvus corax and peregrine falcon Falco peregrinus, whilst snow buntings Plectrophenax nivalis nest among boulders in high corries. The vegetation is near- natural. Being out of the reach of all grazing animals apart from goats, and being difficult to burn, these communities are not threatened by many human activities apart from some disturbance by climbers.
