SOME RECENT SUFFOLK PLANT RECORDS
Compiled by E. M. HYDE and F. W. SIMPSON
For each record the following information is given: locality and habitat, Ordnance Survey 10km Square, vice-county,finder'sname or initials (see key at end of article) and date of record. The comments are those of the Compilers, based in some cases on information supplied by thefinders.The nomenclature and order of the species are with very few exceptions those of Flora Europaea. Simpson's Flora of Suffolk is used as the authority fo claimingfirstor second County records, supplemented by the large number of records received since its publication. The Compilers wish to thank the specialists who determined or confirmed the identity of specimens, especialy Mr. E. J. Clement, who hasfor many yearsgenerously given us the benefit of his time and extensive knowledge. Again we are indebted to the Rev. R. Addington for the considerable number of new records in this list arising from his third andfinalyear's survey of TM06. This has been a most worthwhile enterprise, and we would urge other members to follow suit. A thorough survey will always produce new, interesting records.
