EDITORIAL

It is with much sadnessthat I have to reportthe death of GordonKnight. Gordon lived in Trevine,North Pembrokeshireand as well as being a very activemember of the Wildlife Trust West Wales (WTWW) and honorarywarden of the LlangloffanFen NNR,he wrote severalarticles for both BSBI News and the Welsh Bulletin.His subiectsencompassed such subjectsas pollinationand floraland faunal associationsand were basedon his own observationsalong the Pembrokeshirecoast. Indeed he wrote prolificallyboth for the local pressas well as for wider audiences.For most of his workinglife he was a biologyteacher at LymingtonCollege for Boys and it was this professionalbackground which enabled him to wnte his often provocativearticles in which he invited answers to the searching questionshe posed.He was skilledand thoroughwhen doingfieldwork and his wry sense of humourwould come through when, for example,the horsefliesbecame overuvhelming or, on one occasion,when he perceivedthe new high-lechtill in the Trust shopto be beyond him. He was a gentlemanand a true naturalistin the old sense and to be with him was always a delight. He will be sadly missed. A fuller obituaryappears in the WTWW'S summer'1999 issue of Wildlifemaoazine.

This yeadsBSBI Welsh AGM is beingheld at TrinityCollege, Carmarthen from Friday20th to Monday 23rd August. Participantsare invitedto bring along exhibitsor postersfor display during the weekend. A programme of field meetings at sites in both Carmarthenshireand Pembrokeshirehas been ananged for the Saturdaymoming and Sunday,whilst Saturdayaftemoon and eveningwill be taken up with the AGM, talks by local botanistsand lhe exhibition.Those wishingto help with Atlas 2000 and local flora recording will have their opportunityon the Monday when they can assist with site monitonngor tetradbashing. Many members have expresseda wish to attendbut haveyet to book.A choiceof accommodationis availablein eitherstandard or en suit roomsin the college'shalls of residencebut pleaseacl now as the closingdate for bookingsis August 1st. For your conveniencea bookingform is enclosedwith this bulletin.

My plea in a recenteditorial that all localfield meetings(additional to thoseorganised by BSBI)be utilisedto providevaluable new, or monitoringdata for sitesvisited seems to have fallenon deaf ears. In Carmarthenshire,I have not receivedany records,let alonespecies lists, recordeddunng such events.As I explainedbefore, the opportunityfor contributing valuable records is being lost. Generallythe excuse is given that participantsdo not possessthe necessaryexpertise, but quite often this is an excusefor.iust going along for 'jolly'. the lt is impossiblefor only one or two people to completeall the recordingin a countyand data from these eventscould providea valuableaddition to both nationaland localrecording schemes. Remember - it onlyrequires one participantto act as scrib€.

In additionto the noticesand reportsincluded in this Bulletin,a shortarticle on Cadamine corymbosa(New Zealand Bitter-cress) has been contributedby TrevorEvans. However the maiorpart of this issueis taken up with Welsh Plant Recordsfor '1997compiled by Gwynn Ellis to whom, as always,I am very gratefulas I know he is heavilyoverloaded with his BSBIHon. Gen. Sec. duties. Please continueto submit articlesfor inclusionin future issues in order to ensure lhe Bulletin'sregular appearance. Finally,several very stimulatingfield meetingshave alreadytaken place this season,so may I urge you to attendas many of the remaining1999 meetingsas possibleand llook fon'rrardto seeing you at the CarmarthenAGM. Richard Pryce 11th July 1999 AnnualGeneral Meeting 1998 ANNUALGENERAL MEETING, 1998

The 36thAnnual General Meeting and 16thExhibition Meeting of BSBIWaleswas heldat ColegHarlech, Harlech, Merionethshire on Saturday22nd August 1998. The day beganwith a wellattended field meeting in fineweather, led by Peter Benoit,to LlechweddWood (SH/588.316)and LasynysMarsh (SH/598.327). Trichomanesspeciosum gametophytes (now known to be fairly widespreadin Wales,unlike the extremelyrare sporophyte)were seenat one site.The AGM was held in Coleg Harlechat the end of the afternoon,with 40 memberspresent. Apologiesfor inabilityto attendthe meetingwere receivedfrom MaryBriggs, Nigel Brown,Trevor Evans, David Pearman, Joe Phillipsand ElsaWood. The minutesof the last AGM, published in Welsh Bulletin 63: 4-7, were accepted without amendment. The retiringChairman, Paul Day,thanked Goronwy Wynne for findingthe excellentvenue for the 1998AGM weekend at ColegHarlech, Wendy McCarthy for organisrngthe meeting,and Peter Benoit,the VC Recorderfor Merioneth,for leadingthe field meeting.He welcomedTrevor Dines,the BSBI Atlas 2000 organiser,and SarahWhild, the new BSBI Co-ordinator, both of whomwere present at theAGM. Paul expressed his sadness at steppingdown as Chairmanat theend of his four-yearstint and wishedwell to the Chairman-Elect,Richard Pryce, in his newrole. During his periodas Chairmanhe had beenespecially grateful to Gwynn Ellisfor his hardwork as Secretary,to PeterJones, the Treasurer,for keepingBSBI Walessolvent, and to DavidHumphreys for organising Field Meetings.

In a wide-rangingsurvey, he describedthe involvementof BSBIWales with manysignificant projects and developmentsduring this period;the compilationof CountyRare Plant Registerswith their importantrole for local BiodiversityAction Plans;Atlas 2000; SACs (Special Areas of Conservation)in Wales;the Millennium Seed Bank project;the new NationalBotanic Garden of Wales,which had progressedwell and is taking shape, with the conservationof the Welsh flora formingan importantpart of itswork; Tir Gofal,the newall-Wales Agri-Environment schemewhich will extendTir Cymento the wholeof Wales;and the opportunities and difficultiesarising from the reorganisationof local governmentin Wales, especiallyin relationto theprogress of localBiodiversity Action Plans.

HON. SECRETARY'SREPORT

TheHonorary Secretary, Gwynn Ellis, then recalled that when he hadtaken over as Secretaryin 1977 it was part of his task to reviewthe past year'swork after the Chairmanhad made a fewbrief remarks. He wasglad to saythat, at leastduring the past two years, this situationhad largelyreversed itself! In addition,the task of minutingwas now beingundertaken on a rota basisby other membersof the Committeefor Wales,each acting as MinutesSecretary for a singlemeeting (for the presentAGM, Quentin Kay).

As the Chairmanhad described,the progressof the Government's biodiversityinitiative, including species, habitat and localbiodiversity action plans, hadformed an importantpart of BSBIWales's work during 1998, and hadbeen the subject of a special meeting of the BSBI Committeefor Wales in April. The Committeefor Wales now includedrepresentatives of additionalorganisations includingCCW and the National Botanic Garden of Wales. AnnualGeneral Meeting 1998 Thankswere due to allwho had helped the work of theBSBI in Walesduring the year. Especialthanks were due to JulranWoodman for his hard work in organisingthe 1998(British and lrish) AGM of theBSBI in Cardiffon May8-11, and also to Gill Barterfor organisingthe AGM fieldexcursion to Flat Holme,and to RichardPryce for organisingthe AGM field meeting at theNational Botanic Garden, Middletonand at Pembrey.Welsh Plant Records for 1996was in preparationand shouldappear in Welsh Bulletin63 in December.The 1999Welsh AGM was plannedto take place at Carmarthen,and would includefield meetingsin Carmarthenshireand Pembrokeshire.

HON.TREASURER'S REPORT

TheHon. Treasurer, Peter Jones, reported that the financial situation of BSBIWales continuedto be satisfactory.Unlike the otherregions of the BSBI,whrch required substantialsubsidies from the BSBIcentral budget, BSBI Wales continued to be self-financing,with the AGMs contributinguseful profits and the Bul/etinbeing producedin the mostcost-effective fashion. Excluding receipts from the 1998AGM, whichstill had to be finalisedbut should contribute substantially, the present balance in the currentaccount was f186.95and in the depositaccount E354.72. Many thankswere due to TrevorEvans for his excellentorganisation and managementof the 1997AGM includingthe financialdetails - and to GeorgeHutchinson for his efficientorganisation of the WelshBulletin.

ELECTIONS

The retiringVice-Chairman, Richard Pryce was electedunopposed as Chairmanon the retirementof Paul Day, and GoronwyWynne was electedunopposed as Vice-Chairmanin his place.The Hon. Secretary, Gwynn Ellis, Hon. Treasurer, Peter Jones,and Hon FieldSecretary, David Humphreys, were re-elected unopposed to theirrespective posts. Arthur Chater, Stephen Evans, George Hutchinson, Quentin Kay,Wendy McCarthy and MichaelPorter were all due to retireunder Rule 5 of the Constitutionand were eligiblefor immediatere-election. All had indicatedtheir willingnessto standagain and were duly re-elected for a periodof twoyears.

AGM & EXHIBITIONMEETING AND FIELDMEETINGS 1999

The newly electedChairman, Richard Pryce, described the arrangementsfor the 1999AGM, which is plannedto be basedat TrinityCollege, Carmarthen. At Trinity College,there were apparently either en-suite rooms at aboutf20lnight or ordinary roomsat aboutf 15, but thesewere locatedin separateblocks so that the meeting couldhave only one type of room.A strawpoll showed that the majority of members presentat the AGMwould prefer en-suite if theywere available.

The Chairmanfelt that, as we hadhad a largenumber of dunelandmeetings recently,future field meetings should concentrate on otherhabitats. Also, it wouldbe desirableto split partiesinto smallergroups, each with a separateleader and preferablywith no morethan 10 peoplein eachgroup. He askedfor suggestionsfor venuesand habitatsfor fieldmeetings. After discussionof these and other points,the Chairmandeclared the meetingclosed. After the meeting,in placeof the plannedtalk on MorfaHarlech NNR by JonathanNeal, which had beencancelled because of illness,there were AnnualGeneral Meeting 1998 shorttalks on biodiversityby PeterJones, on Atlas2000 by TrevorDines and on her workas newBSBI co-ordinator by SarahWhild.

CHAIRMAN'SOPENING REMARKS - WELSHAGM. 1998 PaulDay

I wouldlike to welcomeeveryone to the 36thAGM of the WelshRegion of the BSBI. This year we havebroken with traditionby movingthe event,which traditionally, whencentred in north-westWales, has been based in Bangor,to thrsnew venue at Harlech,which to my knowledgehas not featuredpreviously. lt is also an area remotefrom a localincumbent member of theCommittee for Wales, which itself can createits own problems.Nevertheless, it is certainlya localityworthy of thisevent. I wish to thank GoronwyWynne for findingthe venueand WendyMcCarthy for organisingthe weekend.Wendy had even organised visits which I hadbeen asked to pursue before I had got round to doing them, such was her efficiency. Unfortunatelysome aspects of theweekend's programme have had to be changed at the lastminute because of the non-availabilityof one of the mainparticipants. I hopethat this will not detract from the weekend. Froma personalviewpoint, I have fond memories of thisarea from my early dayswith NCC,and particularlythe visitsand meetingsI hadwith Peter Benoit at thetime. I am extremelypleased that Peter can be withus thisweekend. In someways this is a sadoccasion for me, as it willbe my lastaddress to you as Chairman,but I am surethe newChairman-Elect, Richard Pryce, is a more thanadequate replacement for me,and I wishhim well in hisnew role. Richard has beeninvolved on the Committeefor Walesfor longerthan myself,and we are all aware of his current role rn the productionof the Welsh Bulletinwith George Hutchinson.Richard is alsothe vice-county recorder for Carmarthenshire. I wouldalso like to thankpersonally all Committeefor Walesmembers for theirtime, help and assistance in whatevercapacity during my four-yearperiod as AnnualGeneral Meeting 1998 Chairman.Without them life would be extremelydifficult. I would also wish to single outcertain individuals who havebeen particularly helpful, notably Gwynn Ellis for his knowledgeof the Societyand its workings;the variousTreasurers, including the presentincumbent Peter Jones, for keeping us solvent;and Dr DavidHumphreys for organisingthe Welsh field visits so efficientlyover the years. As youwill remember, at lastyear's AGM in Usk- and I digressat thispoint to thankTrevor Evans personally for hisHerculean efforts last year for which we are all extremelygrateful - | encouragedthe membershiplo undertakeas much recordingin Walesfor theAtlas 2000 project as theyare able and to assistwith the productionof Vice-countyRare Plant Registers to help informthe localBiodiversity ActionPlan process. Both these projects should help to promotethe imageof the BSBI,both in Walesand in a UKcontext. We needto ensurethat the current status of theSociety is maintained. Before| finishI wouldlike to brieflyreview what has happened both nationally and in Walesover the lastfour years. In manyways, much has happened over this period,both within the BSBIand elsewhere. As partof thisthe Commrttee for Wales has attemptedto ensure that the conservationof the Welsh flora has been adequatelyconsidered.

At a national,UK level: 1. The BSBI,with the support of theDepartment of theEnvironment and lTE, is carryingout the Atlas 2000 project, which is clearlya prestigiousone for the Society.This has ledthe BSBIfor the firsttime to recruitpaid staff - theAtlas Organiser,Trevor Dines, and the BSBI Co-ordinator, formerly Cameron Crook andnow Sarah Whild. Both Trevor Dines and Sarah Whild are wilh us today.I am surethat we havemuch to thankour pasl president David Pearman for in thiscontext. 2. TheConservation (Natural Habitats and Countryside) Regulations 1994 have comeinto force and candidate Soecial Areas of Conservationhave been identified.Whether sufficient SACs have been identified to conservethe ranges andimportant populations of Europeanprotected plant species remains to be seen. 3. TheMillennium Seedbank project has been initiated under the aegis of theRoyal BotanicGarden, Kew. At a Waleslevel: 1. The NationalBotanic Garden of Waleshas progressed, with moneys found and a site acquiredat MiddletonHall, Carmarthenshire. As we heardat the Cardiff AGM, this projectis now takingshape. For Walesthis will providea facility comparableto those that already exist in Englandand Scotland.The conservationof our native Welsh flora should form an integralpart of the Garden'swork. 2. Tir Gofal, the name chosen for the recently-announcedAll-Wales Agri-EnvrronmentScheme, wrll combine existing schemes such as Tir Cymen and EnvironmentallySensitive Areas into a singlescheme for the wholeof Wales.lt will be a whole-farmscheme, and shouldcommence early in 1999.lt canonly be hopedthat the budget for this scheme will be substantialand that the moneyswill be appropriatelytargeted for the greatestbenefit of the Britishflora. 3. Reorganisationof localgovernment in Walestook placein 1995,and ledto a reductionin the numberof localauthorities, with the 37 countyand district authoritiesin a two-tierstructure being replacedby 22 unitary,single{ier authorities.This loss of a tierof localgovernment should have facilitated liaison AnnualGeneral Meeting and Exhtbition1999 and dialoguebetween them and non-governmentalconservation bodies such as ourselves.Unfortunately, this reorganisation seems to havecorresponded with a declinein the moneysavailable for authoritiesto developinitiatives such as natureconservation strategies and local Biodiversity Action Plans quickly, readily and comprehensively.One can onlyhope that the situationimproves and that whenthese plans are producedthe resourcesare availableto implementthem. Comprehensivelocal BiodiversityAction Plans should assist with the conservationof our nativeflora. 4. The WelshLanguage Act is nowin force,and I wonderwhat the BSBIshould be doingin respectof this- morethan at present,I am sure.

Finally,I wouldlike to thankeveryone for theirattendance and interest, and we look forwardto yourcontrnued support in the future. I trustthat Richard Pryce will find the roleof Chairmanas interestinqand varied as I havefound it to be.

Cardaminecorymbosa Hook. f. - New ZealandBitter-cress

This New Zealandcress has arrrvedin Monmouthshirein a nurserygarden five milesfrom Chepstowand I am assuredby the proprietorthat it is in, at least, threeother nurseries. Like HairyBitter-cress it producesfruits just as abundantly and scattersits seedjust as explosively,so its spreadis likelyto be rapid,unless earlysteps are taken to eradicateit. Weeding it out is notas likelyto be as easyas with its Englishcousin as its root systemseems to consistof severaltap rootswilh manysecondary roots that tediously cling to the soil.lt is statedthat plantlets arise from the end pairof leafletswhere the procumbentleaves touch the soil;I couldsee no evidenceof that in the nurserythis April,but this form of propagation,in other plants,only occurs late in theseason. Before steps can be takenthe plant needs to be recognised;and even beforethat, nurserymenand gardenersneed to be on the lookoutfor its appearance.My drawingshould help in recognition,though I have deliberatelyreduced the numberof radiating,ground-hugging, basal leaves for clarity. Key featuresthat distinguishCardamine corymbosa are the largenumber of radiating,ground-hugging, basal leaves, the lack of upright,stiff, central, flower-bearingstems; the flower-bearingstems radiate out parallelto the ground '1-6 beforeascending and bearing pedicelsarising from the same point or closeto it at the tip of the stem;the fruitelongate quickly to form digitatelyarranged long, narrowsiliqua; to the naked eye the plant looks relativelyglabrous, made more apparentas the delicatetranslucent hairs wear off quitequickly. With a lenshairs are quitenoticeable on the lowersections of the stemsand oetioles.Ciliate hairs occuron theedge of theleaves and a fewon thelamina. Flowering stems may bear a pairof leavesbelow half way and a leafjust belowthe flowers. Cardamineh,rsuta is a stiffermore hairy plant. lts basalleaves are fewerand lessground-hugging. lt tends to be larger.lt usuallyhas a stiff,upright, flowering stem that bears its pedicelsin a loose spiral arrangement,never arisrngfrom a commonpoint. Large plants tend to havea numberof procumbentflowering stems but rise morequickly and gradually,or remainhorrzontal and stiff.lf one grasps them by the leaf rosettethey pullout quiteeasily, their tap rootemerging like a minisculecarrol. Cardaminecorymbosa has no attractivefeatures, like those thar nave persuadedgardeners to introduceother alien plants, that havelater escaped and becomepernicious weeds, so stepsneed to be takenas soon as it is observed,to avoidlike tragedies.
