Wildflowers

'Wildflowers' is a popular name used by many field-guides to encompass flowering herbaceous species. 

'Trees, Shrubs & Climbers', 'Grasses, Sedges & Rushes', 'Ferns & Horsetails', 'Mosses' and 'Liverworts' can be found in separate species Galleries. 

See our Recording Trees, Wildflowers & Grasses page for useful guidance on what to record.

More on recording in Leicestershire and Rutland and contacts for our County Recorders are on the webpage of our local VC55 branch of the BSBI.
