The Flora of Colonsay and Oransay
A check-list compiled from records collected between 1977 and 1988, incorporating information from Murdoch MacNeill's book 'Colonsay, one of the Hebrides' (Edinburgh, 1910) and the Atlas of the British Flora, 1976. Please note that Murdoch McNeill's book has been re-issued in a facsimile edition and is available from Colonsay Bookshop. A completely new Atlas of Colonsay Plants is in course of preparation by Dr. Richard Gulliver, sometime County Recorder.
Non-native and introduced species are not included.
Our thanks to the following main contributors and to the many visitors and islanders who have submitted records to the list given here.
P. Wormell; F. Rose; E.C. Wallace; J. Day; C. MacNab; D.C. Jardine.
The Taraxacum species collected by A. Stirling and C.C. Haworth were named by Dr. A.J. Richards of Newcastle University.
