    East Perthshire Rare Plant Register March 2015 version M.C.Robinson Veronica fruticans Rock Speedwell 1 INTRODUCTION A Rare Plant Register for the Watsonian Vice-county of East Perthshire (vc89) appeared on-line and in print in April 2011. One of the benefits of collecting all the available records of the vice-county’s rare, scarce and otherwise notable plants together in one place was to be able to see at a glance which sites needed an up- dating visit. This provided a focus for botanical field work in 2011 and 2012, resulting in a new edition in March 2013. This third edition includes the results from two further field seasons A Register for the vice-county of West Perthshire (vc87) is near to completion and one for Mid Perthshire (vc88) will follow in due course. The work involved in the creation of these registers will enable a revision of the Checklist of the Plants of Perthshire (Smith et al, 1992) to be undertaken. In the longer term it is intended to produce a new Flora of Perthshire. The only existing one, The Flora of Perthshire, by Francis Buchanan White, was published in 1898, so a new one is long overdue. No such register can ever be complete and this one must be considered a work in progress. Its two main objectives are 1. To provide information on the more ‘special’ plants of the vice-county for those needing it. 2. To stimulate botanists to provide more records. In respect of objective 1, there are a number of reasons why people may need to know where scarce and potentially vulnerable plant species are growing.
