Flowers and ferns of Bute

Flowers and ferns of Bute – A check-list with notes

With its varied habitats of shoreline, hedgerow, hill, moor and bog, freshwater lochs, ravine woodland, fossil cliffs and raised beach marshes, Bute has much to offer the botanist. This booklet lists all the flowering plants and ferns recorded on the island (over 750 in total), with notes on their frequency, distribution, status and habitat preferences. The check-list was compiled by Angus Hannah, vascular plant recorder for vice-county 100 (Clyde Islands) on behalf of the BSBI (Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland)
