  • The Rare and Scarce Plants of South Northumberland 2014 Introduction
    The Rare and Scarce Plants of South Northumberland 2014 Quentin J. Groom, Gordon Young and A. John Richards Published 12 July 2015 http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1480492 [CC BY 4.0] Introduction The Vice-County Rare Plant Registers are an initiative of the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) to summarise the status of rare and conservation-worthy plants in each vice-county. The intention is to create an up-to-date summary of the sites of rare plants and their status at these sites. Rare Plant Registers intend to identify gaps in our knowledge, aid conservation efforts and encourage monitoring of our rare plants. Changes from the 2013 register We have updated the register with observations collected during 2014. Many species accounts have been improved with regard to their historical observations. Also, national threat statuses have been changed to those of the England red-list (Stroh et al., 2015). During the review of the register the following taxa have been added, Carum carvi, Cirsium eriophorum, Draba incana, Euphrasia micrantha, Galium boreale, Galium tricornutum, Gentianella amarella, Hieracium argutifolium Hieracium auratiflorum, Hieracium piligerum, Melica nutans and Seriphidium maritima. Native records of Cicendia filiformis and Saxifraga hypnoides are now considered to be errors. Criteria for Inclusion The guidelines of the BSBI were followed in the production of this Rare Plant Register. All native vascular plants with a national status of “rare” (found in 1-15 hectads in Britain) or “scarce” (found in 16-100 hectads in Britain) are included even if that species is not native to South Northumberland.
