UKBotany exists to enable anyone with an interest in plants growing in the wild in Britain and Ireland to communicate with other people interested in the subject.

The scope of this egroup is anything to do with plants growing in the wild in Britain and Ireland - this includes not just the flowering plants, but all higher and lower plants. Topics could include: identification, distribution, requests for info e.g. "where can I see...?" or "what can I see in...?", taxonomy, escapes & introductions, vegetation/habitats, plant/animal interactions.

Topics not covered by this egroup are:
Fungi - there is a Fungi-BritishIsles egroup.
Gardening / Horticulture
Wild plants outside Britain & Ireland

Information from organisations involved in botanical conservation is welcomed.

No adverts please.
Also, please don't post large attachments - these can go in the "Files" section.

Please think carefully before talking about the locations of the very rarest and most threatened plants - ask yourself if giving away a location will threaten the species further and err on the side of caution.

Any questions, contact the list manager - Steve.Preddy@blueyonder.co.uk
