Return of the Good Plants

During 2021, when the Society was unable to hold any field meetings because of Covid, we started to publish lists of Good Plants, seasonal species that might be under-recorded and where we would like updated records.

This year,  Good Plants returns - please do consider getting involved. The latest group of six species is on our Resources page (you can also download previous lists of Good Plants here too). Text and photos for Good Plants are by members of the society and you'll find a summary of identification features, ecological notes and distribution maps. Some species are widespread, but others are more restricted and less easy to find. The species are carefully chosen and it would be good to know more about their whereabouts.

Do please send Richard Aisbitt a list of any finds of Good Plants. Essential details for a botanical record are:

• Plant name (Latin or English, as long as it is clear)
• Place name where found
• Ordnance Survey grid reference (or What3Words if that is difficult)
• Date found
• Your name as recorder
• Any useful notes.

Records of other plants are welcome too! There is more information about submitting records generally on the Recording page.
