摘要

这在贝里克郡有很好的记录。物种分类(第七章)是作者选录的稀有和稀有物种、轴生植物和侵入新生植物,以及其他一些值得注意的物种,共415种。与大多数植物区系不同,它们不是按分类而是按属的字母顺序排列的。这些记录通常每页两页,统计了该物种在英国和贝里克郡的出现频率。对于许多物种来说,在英国的频率是两者中较高的,但人们可以很快挑选出高于平均水平的本地意义的物种,如岩玫瑰(Helianthemum nummularium),其本地频率较高。每个物种都有一个包含四个日期类别的地图,以及简明但信息丰富的文本。要获得更精确的数据,必须查阅《稀有植物名录》和《植物遗址名录》。正是在这些高度选择性和集中的物种描述中,与传统的县植物区系的最大差异是显而易见的,但这种方法的好处是不言而喻的。在物种描述之后,剩下的简短章节对贝里克郡稀有植物的减少进行了分类,平均每十年减少14%,对许多物种来说,这是“灾难性的”。这尤其适用于广大农村地区的人口,但也明显适用于sssi。书中列举了一些重要(通常是“受保护的”)遗址的具体例子,这些遗址的重大损失已被记录下来,戈登莫斯就是一个特别能说明问题的例子。这本书总结了一个优秀的参考书目,补充涵盖了蕨类植物(包括唯一一组非维管隐生植物),和一个非常简短的关键属的总结,如Hieracium, Rubus和Taraxacum没有详细介绍,最后一个完整的植物区系的字母顺序检查表。我认为这是近代英国最重要的县植物区系之一,因为它的实地考察、数据分析和结论都非常深入,不仅在这里,而且在全国都非常相关。我们必须祝贺作者的彻底性和远见。正如他在《植物遗址名录》中所述,按照国家或国际标准,贝里克郡并不是一个拥有丰富植物群的郡。但这里有很多值得植物学家参观的乡村,我认为对于那些想要了解英国植物群在人类的掠夺下所面临的问题的人来说,这是一个很好的研究领域。”我们希望其他人能在迈克尔所建立的杰出基础上再接再厉,并在苏格兰的这个小角落延续他的遗产。

The Flora of Derbyshire
enon which is well-documented in Berwickshire. The species accounts (chapter 7) are the author’s selection of rare and scarce species, axiophytes and intrusive neophytes, along with a few other notable species, in total 415 species. In contrast to most Floras, these are arranged not taxonomically but alphabetically by genus. These accounts mostly occupy two per page, with statistics of the frequency of the species in Britain and Berwickshire. For many species, the frequency in Britain is the higher of the two, but one can quickly pick out species of above average local significance such as Rockrose (Helianthemum nummularium) where the local frequency is higher. Each species has a map with four date classes, and concise but informative text. For more precise data one has to consult the Rare Plant Register and Botanical Site Register. It is in these highly selective and focussed species accounts where the greatest differences with traditional county Floras are apparent, but the benefits of this approach are self-evident. Following the species accounts, the remaining short chapters catalogue the decline of Berwickshire’s scarce plants, which on average are calculated at 14% per decade and described for many species as ‘disastrous’. This applies particularly to populations in the wider countryside but also significantly in SSSIs. Specific examples of important (and often ‘protected’) sites where important losses have been documented are cited, Gordon Moss being a particularly telling example. The book concludes with an excellent bibliography, supplements covering charophytes (the only group of non-vascular cryptogams included), and a very brief summary of critical genera such as Hieracium, Rubus and Taraxacum not covered in detail, and finally a full alphabetical check-list of the flora. I would rank this as one of the most important British county Floras of recent times, on account of the remarkable depth of supporting field work, data analysis and his highly informed conclusions, extremely relevant not just here but throughout the country. The author must be congratulated on his thoroughness and vision. As stated in his Botanical Site Register ‘Berwickshire is not a county with a rich flora by national or international standards. But it has much countryside that a botanist can find rewarding to visit and I would argue that it is an excellent study area for those seeking to sample the issues faced by our British flora in the face of man’s depredations’. It is to be hoped that others will seek to build on the outstanding foundations Michael has built, and continue his legacy into the future in this small corner of Scotland.
