The following are lists of species found, with a few notes about some of the less common ones and a rough indication of their location (and when first seen).
The list is "under construction " from my notes.
I use CT&W and Francis Rose's books as my reference.
There are two lists, one of scientific names in the order they appear in
The Wild Flower Key, ISBN 0 7232 2418 8 by Francis Rose
and the other (yet to be sorted out) in English name alphabetical order.
