Bourne Woods vascular plant species list

This list documents all vascular plant (flowering plants, ferns and horsetails)  recorded by local botanists from Bourne and Pillar Wood and has been compiled by Richard Jefferson. This is very much "work in progress" and the eventual intention is to produce a published flora of the wood. Richard Jefferson would welcome any additional records of plants which would be acknowledged. Please send any records to rjeffegj@sky.com
