Seeding the list

On the 29th of May I walked across the Florula Urbana on my way to visiting the nature reserver in the town on the other side (to photograph the waterfowl). Over about 3 miles of roadside I recorded 53 species of flowering plant. Since there was nothing unusual among them I've just seeded the cumulative list with them, without mentioning them in detail here.

On the way back I came through the park, where I additionally recored yellow water lily (Nuphar lutea), wood avens (Geum urbanum) and thyme-leaved speedwell (Veronica serpyllifolium). In woodland on the northern edge of the park I saw French cranesbill (Geranium endressii) and Welsh poppy (Meconopsis cambrica). Finally only the canal towpath there was germander speedwell (Veronica chamaedrys), white dead-nettle (Lamium album), greater plantain (Plantago major), coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara), sweet cicely (Myrrhis odorata), common mallow (Malva sylvestris) and water cress (Rorippa nasturtium-aquatica agg.)

UPDATE (May 2009): The parish boundary lies further south and east than I thought it did, and the observations of sweet cicely (Myrrhis odorata), common mallow (Malva sylvestris) lie outwith the florula area. Common mallow has been seen elsewhere in the area, but sweet cicely hasn't and will be removed from the list.
