Birmingham Botany Collections the Herbarium of James Eustace Bagnall Birmingham Museums Birmingham Botany Collections The Herbarium of James Eustace Bagnall Edited by Phil Watson and Emily Gough © Birmingham Museums Version 1.0 October 2014 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of J E Bagnall 1 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of J E Bagnall Introduction A brief biography of Bagnall (1830-1918) was given in Birmingham Botany Collections – Mosses (http://www.bmag.org.uk/uploads/fck/file/BBC%20Mosses.pdf ) and there is no need to repeat this here except to reiterate that he was Birmingham’s greatest botanist whose passion was driven by the compilation of his The Flora of Warwickshire (Gurney & Jackson, London and Cornish Brothers, Birmingham, 1891) and, subsequently, The Flora of Staffordshire which was published as a supplement to the Journal of Botany 39 (West, Newman & Co, London 1901). He presented his herbarium in its entirety to Birmingham Museum in 1913. This included 4570 specimens of mosses, 700 liverworts and 180 lichens all of which have already been published in the respective fascicles of Birmingham Botany Collections . The present fascicle covers his collection of vascular plants and contains a little over 6400 specimens. Of these he collected almost 3700 (57%) himself. The remaining 43% (just over 2750 specimens) were collected and passed on to Bagnall by a whole range of different people from across the country. Of these the most prolific was A. Ley who supplied almost 200 items. Only 135 specimens (a mere 2%) have no collector recorded for them and 72 of these are from Warwickshire, Staffordshire or Worcestershire so could well have been collected by Bagnall himself. Geographically the collection as a whole is dominated by England (almost 5600 specimens, 87%). Scotland accounts for 374 specimens (6%), Wales for 242 (4%), Ireland and the Channel Isles less than a hundred each and the 16 foreign specimens are of little importance. Only 59 specimens (a meagre 1%) have no recorded provenance. There is an uneven distribution however, as one might perhaps expect, between the specimens supplied by others and those collected by Bagnall himself. The former group has 73% of specimens from England from 57 vice counties. Few of these are represented in any sizable quantity however. Warwickshire is best represented with 253 specimens (125 of these collected by H Bromwich) followed by Surrey (175 specimens), Hereford (11, many from A Ley), Hampshire (109), Cornwall (106), Norfolk (96) and Derbyshire (95). Scotland accounts for 349 (13% of which a third are from Perthshire) and Wales for 198 (7%, of which over half are from either Carnarvon or Glamorgan). Bagnall’s own collecting breaks down into over 3580 specimens from England (97%) with only 79 specimens from the rest of Britain and Ireland, 2 foreign ones and 10 without provenance. Even more than with his moss collection a local bias towards Warwickshire is evident with nearly 3000 specimens (80%) from his home county. There are 259 specimens from Staffordshire (7%), 103 from Worcestershire (3%) and only 270 (7%) from other English counties; the latter includes 95 specimens from Cornwall. His collecting activities began in the mid 1850s and his last dated specimen is from 1918. The Checklist The collections of vascular plants in Birmingham were re-assessed, and in some cases re-boxed, in the 1980s under the supervision of the then Keeper, Dr Brian Abell Seddon and a team of volunteers. As part of this, specimens were catalogued and arranged according to the taxonomy given in J.E. Dandy List of British Vascular Plants (British Museum, London 1958). Although it is accepted that taxonomy has advanced in the intervening period this arrangement has been retained here as it clearly reflects the storage and labelling of the specimens in the collection. The checklist is arranged in the following columns: 1 The Dandy number consisting of his genus number followed after a decimal point by his species number within each genus. 2 The name 3 The date of collection 4 The Vice-County number 5 More detailed provenance 6 The collector 2 Birmingham Botany Collections – Herbarium of J E Bagnall 1.1 Lycopodium selago 00.08.1846 70 Helvellyn Dr Young 1.1

  • 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.

  • How Useful Are Episcopal Ordination Lists As a Source for Medieval English Monastic History?
    Jnl of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. , No. , July . © Cambridge University Press doi:./S How Useful are Episcopal Ordination Lists as a Source for Medieval English Monastic History? by DAVID E. THORNTON Bilkent University, Ankara E-mail: [email protected] This article evaluates ordination lists preserved in bishops’ registers from late medieval England as evidence for the monastic orders, with special reference to religious houses in the diocese of Worcester, from to . By comparing almost , ordination records collected from registers from Worcester and neighbouring dioceses with ‘conven- tual’ lists, it is concluded that over per cent of monks and canons are not named in the extant ordination lists. Over half of these omissions are arguably due to structural gaps in the surviving ordination lists, but other, non-structural factors may also have contributed. ith the dispersal and destruction of the archives of religious houses following their dissolution in the late s, many docu- W ments that would otherwise facilitate the prosopographical study of the monastic orders in late medieval England and Wales have been irre- trievably lost. Surviving sources such as the profession and obituary lists from Christ Church Canterbury and the records of admissions in the BL = British Library, London; Bodl.

  • A History of Castle Vale
    A HISTORY OF CASTLE VALE By Geoff Bateson INTRODUCTION Castle Vale is a modern housing area on the north-eastern edge of Birmingham. It is unique in many ways and has gone through distinct sets of changes. The things that most people noticed on their first visit to the area, when it was first built as a housing estate, was the flat and open landscape and the very distinct boundaries which seemed to almost cut Castle Vale off from the rest of the city to make a little island of people. These features have recently been changed, and will continue to change into the future, but each change is dictated by past developments. To understand what an area is like now, it is important to understand its history. The history of the Castle Vale area can be traced backwards, layer by layer and then built up again as a sequential record of those things that made the area what it was at each stage of its development. This booklet follows the changing fortunes of the small area of land known as Castle Vale from its beginnings as a swampy forest, through the feudal times of battling barons, through the growing industrialisation of Birmingham to the First World War, on through its life as an airfield, finally to the construction of the modern housing estate and the very recent improvements to that area. From time to time little excursions will be taken into the wider history of the region but only in order to set the very local events within their wider setting and make them even more interesting than they already are.

  • The Round House • Highly Versatile Detached Residence Old Warwick Road Lapworth • Beautifully Presented Within
    The Round House • Highly Versatile Detached Residence Old Warwick Road Lapworth • Beautifully Presented Within B94 6AZ • Detached Double Garage £845,000 • 5 Bedrooms & 3 Bathrooms Freehold T: 01564 783 866 E: [email protected] W: www.johnshepherd.com Lapworth is a most delightful unspoilt village in which to reside, enjoying a rural environment, yet being only a few minutes drive from the larger villages of Knowle and Dorridge, whilst Solihull town centre is some five miles distant. Lapworth village contains local shops, excellent local inns, rail commuter service from Lapworth Station, village hall, St Mary the Virgin Parish Church, plus a junior and infant school in Station Lane. Surrounding Lapworth is lovely greenbelt countryside with many rural, canal side walks and bridle paths. There are two National Trust properties close to Lapworth, the historic houses of Baddesley Clinton and Packwood House. Stratford-upon Avon is some 14 miles away and Warwick approximately 9 miles. Furthermore, the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham Airport and Railway Station the M42 and M40 motorway links are all within very easy reach. The Round House occupies a discretely positioned and yet conveniently located detached residence which would equally be as attractive to a family purchaser or indeed a maturer clientele looking to downsize from a larger landholding and look for little work to be done. Delightfully refurbished throughout the highly versatile accommodation, which could provide a separate annexe facility if so desired, briefly comprises entrance lobby with guest wc, large living room, breakfast room, dining room, kitchen, versatile sitting room and large utility and conservatory with under floor heating.

  • East Molesey Cricket Club
    East Molesey Cricket Club Formal application/proposal to develop a Second Pitch for the EMCC on Hurst Meadow Introduction This document has been produced by East Molesey Cricket Club (EMCC) for presentation to Elmbridge Borough Council. It sets out the Club’s wish to develop a second pitch on Hurst Meadow in order to relieve the pressure on the current pitch and accommodate the future expansion of the Club. The current pitch hosts 1st and 2nd XI matches on Saturdays, Conference matches on Sundays and Colts matches for three age groups (Under 13’s, Under 15’s and Under 17’s) throughout the week. It also has to accommodate mid-week and weekend training sessions for all members – from Under 7’s up to the 1st XI squad. At the moment, the 3rd and 4th XI play their home matches on other local pitches due to lack of capacity. The new pitch is part of a five-year strategy to expand the facilities at the Club in order to support the growing Colts membership, the formation of girls’ and ladies’ teams, as well as accommodate disabled players. The Club will shortly be submitting a Planning Application for a new enlarged pavilion that will not only cater for the increasing number of teams and members within EMCC but also enable a local winter sports club (or clubs) to share the facilities. More details and design concepts for the new pavilion are contained at the rear of this proposal. The Club is seeking permission to develop the pitch on Hurst Meadow and, in order to obtain the considerable funds required for the planned development, secure a minimum lease period of 30 years.
