| Summary: | manuscript 'Circumpolar arctic flora ' in which I have treated all of the recognized species of vascular plants known to reach the prescribed area, and (c) a modern British flora (Clapham, Tutin and Warburg, 1952, hereafter referred to as 'F.B.I.'), has made it desirable, with much further exploration in the Arctic and botanical discovery in the British Isles (cf. Lousley 1951, 1952; Polunin 1953), to undertake a more adequate treatment than was formerly available (Polunin 1939a, 1939b) of the subject of ' arctic plants in the British Isles. ' The bases and results in outline of this revised analysis of the vascular plant species common to the Arctic and the British Isles have recently been published (Polunin 1954), and it now seems desirable, as on the former occasion before the war, to offer also details of the plants concerned in the various ecological (or some-times phytogeographical) categories. In the lists given below the order is that of F.B.I., as are in general the ortho-graphy and nomenclature. Where the nomenclature differs from that used in F.B.I., or where this last supplants some more familiar designation, sufficient synonymy is given to orientate the reader: this is especially necessary with some widely inclusive species |
