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. References M.E. Ball - Native woodlands of the Inner Hebrides, (Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinb. 83B, 319-333), 1983. A. Currie and C.W. Murray - Flora and Vegetation, (Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinb. 83B, 293-318), 1983. R.W.G. Dennis - Fungi of Colonsay and Oransay, 1980. Atlas of the British Flora, 1976. Murdoch MacNeill - Colonsay, one of the Inner Hebrides, (Edinburgh), 1910. Nomenclature and order follow Excursion Flora of the British Isles - Third Edition, (Clapham, Tutin and Warburg), 1983. Where they give no English names those used in The Concise British Flora, (W. Keble Martin) have been given. Key Species contained in square brackets require confirmation. Species marked * denote those recorded in Murdoch MacNeill's book 'Colonsay, one of the Hebrides', (Edinburgh), 1910. Species marked ~ denote species recorded by MacNeill or in the Atlas which have not been seen by others and for which there is no specimen at the British Museum to act as a voucher. (Search made at the British Herbarium 1987). d.n. Doubtfully native. p.n. Probably native. p. Probably resulting from planting. This list was compiled in January, 1988 by P.M. and J. Clarke.
