  • The Flora of Staffordshire, 2011
    The Flora of Staffordshire, 2011. Update No. 5 (October, 2015). 1. Add itional Herbarium Records. The online project Herbaria@home involves volunteers digitising the information from the herbarium sheets held by museums and universities. The results to date, relating to Staffordshire specimens, have been examined. Not all specimens were correctly identified by the original recorder. In particular the names applied to some Rosa and many Rubus specimens conflict with modern taxonomy. However, there are several important early records not included in this or earlier Floras. As a consequence, the previously thought earliest date for some taxa needs to be corrected; and a few significant later records need to be added. The resulting modified species accounts are given below. Page 107 At the bottom left, add to the abbreviations used for herbaria: BON Bolton Museum SLBI South London Botanical Institute Page 109 Equisetum hyemale L. Rough Horsetail 2 (0) 1796 Native Streamsides and ditches.
