Two Floras of
Essex have been published to date, that by George Stacy Gibson in 1862
and that by Stanley Jermyn and Ken Adams in 1974. A new 3rd Flora of
Essex is being compiled and will be displayed on this site in 'bits and
pieces' to allow other botanists to criticise and contribute as sections
become available. We are concentrating initially on rare and
locally scarce species accounts, and distribution data which will be
added to as they are compiled. In addition we are mapping all species on
a 1 x 1km square level, and less common species at the 100x100m square
level, for the eventual production of an accompanying Atlas of Essex
Plants. The latter maps are filed here along with the accounts of each
species. A partial Flora and Atlas, with 1x1km sq. maps, covering the
Colchester Natural History Society recording area; Wild Flowers of
North East Essex by Terri Tarpey and Jeremy Heath was published in
1990. 3rd Flora of Essex interim accounts of the STONEWORTS, FERNS &
FERN ALLIES and the HAWKWEEDS of Essex have been
published in the Essex Naturalist Numbers 14, 29 and 28
respectively and have been continuously updated on the site. |
