BROOK
MEADOW, EMSWORTH
LIST
OF PLANTS (up-dated
- August 2008)
Here is the complete list
of plants, in alphabetical order of English name, that
have been identified on the Brook Meadow site. Note, the
Brook Meadow site also includes copses and waterways, as
well as the main grassland.
Many people have helped
to assemble this list, including Ralph Hollins, Gwynne
Johnson and Pete Selby, sadly the latter two are now
deceased. Rod Stern was responsible for the list of
bryophytes. I am also grateful to Martin Rand, the BSBI
Recorder for South Hants for his help in surveying the
plants on Brook Meadow and for answering many queries and
for checking the plant list.
The names of the plants
are as in Francis Rose's books: "The Wild Flower Key" and
"Grasses, Sedges, Rushes and Ferns"
Total Plants = 333. Herbs
= 207, Trees and Shrubs = 47, Grasses = 35, Sedges = 12,
Rushes = 5, Horsetails = 2, Ferns = 2, Mosses and
Liverworts = 23.
Meadow
indicators - of which
there are 7 on Brook Meadow.
