BOTANICAL REPORT FOR 1964
301
Secondly, there are individual records from old gardens like Easton
Lodge, Warley Place, Creeksea Place, Colne Park and others of a
similar type which have been unattended and gone wild for
upwards of half a century; these produce valuable records for
the garden type of plant. To these must be added the casuals,
adventives, aliens and garden escapes from a host of habitats.
All these records tend to inflate the number of species only to be
found in a limited number of places. This year there have been
added also nearly 200 additional Brambles, the majority of
which are only recorded for a few localities. Here I must add that
I am most grateful for the help and information given by Mr B.
Miles. It is doubtful whether all these casuals will be included in
the new Essex Flora, but the records will be maintained for future
reference and comparison.
Below is given a selected list of some of the uncommon species
which have been recorded and as in previous years it follows the
nomenclature of the 1952 edition of Flora of the British Isles by
Clapham, Tutin & Warburg. The place and square numbers in
which they occur is also stated with the initials of the recorder
whose full name is given at the end. Where no initials are given
they are the writer's own records.
The localities given are not in every case the complete list
but are additional areas for the plants found in 1963/4.
