Annual Report 2020 VC50
There was no meetings programme and no group meetings, although regular email communication. Recording was limited, mostly solo or with up to 4 well-spaced companions.
4,700 records were taken, including new records for about 40 of the VC’s scarce taxa, new or confirmed records for VC rarities Andromeda polifolia (Bog-rosemary), Berberis vulgaris (Barberry), Lactuca virosa (Great Lettuce), Lepidium ruderale (Narrow-leaved Pepperwort) and Potamogeton trichoides (Hairlike Pondweed. New to the VC are Amsinckia micrantha (Common Fiddleneck), Angelica archangelica (Garden Angelica) and Elatine hydropiper (Eight-stamened Waterwort).
The Rare Plant Register has been updated and is ready for putting on the website. The modest herbarium has at last been labelled properly.
