Flora of Great Britain and Ireland

Abstract

Planned in five volumes, this critical Flora provides a definitive account of the native species, naturalised species, frequent garden escapes and casuals found in the British Isles. Full keys and descriptions will enable the user to name all plants occurring in the wild, plus some ornamental trees and shrubs. For the first time detailed accounts of all the large apomictic genera are given and many infraspecific variants included. Each species entry begins with the accepted Latin name, synonyms and the common English name. A detailed description follows, including information on flowering period, pollination and chromosome number. Separate descriptions are given for infraspecific taxa. Information on the status, ecology and distribution (including worldwide distribution) of the species and infraspecific taxa is also given. Clear black and white line drawings illustrate an extensive glossary and also illuminate the diagnostic features in a number of groups of plants.

Phylogenetic Studies in the Commelinaceae Subfamily Commelinoideae Inferred from Nuclear Ribosomal and Chloroplast DNA Sequences

“…), stored at BON, was examined and assigned to C. communis. This record is not mentioned in later British floras, such as Sell & Murrell (1996) and Stace (2010). Croatia -Commelina virginica is mentioned as "previously registered" for Croatia by Milović & al.…”

Coastal newcomer on motorways: the invasion of Plantago coronopus in Hungary

“…It develops rich rosettes from its continuously growing taproot (Sell and Murrell 2009). Leaves are 2-20 × 0.1-0.5 cm, linear to lanceolate, dentate, and mostly appressed to the ground.…”

“…Th ere are 4 stamens, fi laments are pale, anthers are bright yellow. Capsule is 1.5-2.5 mm locular; seeds are 3-6, 0.8-1 mm long, brown-pink (Chater andCartier 1976, Sell andMurrell 2009). In Central Europe the annual subsp.…”

Chromosome Numbers in 10 Taraxacum Species From Poland

“…It occurs in Fennoscandia, Scotland, Belgium, Holland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia in meadows and at roadsides (Sell and Murrell, 2006). In Poland it was found in Mazovia and Podlasie and was described as a species new for Poland (Głowacki and Øllgaard, 1999).…”

“…The species is characteristic of Northern Europe: Fennoscandia, the British Isles, Iceland, Ireland, Belgium and Holland, where it grows in wet meadows (Sell and Murrell, 2006). Like T. cyanolepis, in…”
