Introduction 

The records in these lists are given, where possible, to a tetrad level. When insufficient information to 

do this is available, and the reference is to hectad accuracy, a dash is used (as in “SK22-“). 

A survey is currently in process leading to the publication of a county Flora in 2010. As a result of this, 

and other information received, it is intended to revise the Register annually. The list incorporates the changes 

in classification published in the Vascular Red Plant Data List, 2005 and the BSBI’s New Lists of British Rare 

Plants. 

Initially, the largest source of data was the vast card index system produced and maintained by Bryan 

Fowler, VC Recorder for many years up to 1998. Work by members of the Flora Group and species lists from 

Staffordshire Wildlife Trust Reserves have since raised the total number of records to more than 240,000. 

Local Authority-Wildlife Trust surveys from 1995 onwards have produced another large database; this has also 

been consulted. Mike Poulton has passed on many lists from Birmingham & The Black Country; Bill 

Thompson from tetrads shared with Worcestershire. Much additional information and advice has been provided 

by members of the Flora Group Committee, Alex Lockton (BSBI Co-ordinator), Ian Trueman and Elaine 

Radford. David McCosh (Hieracium), David Earl (Rubus) and Bert Read (Taraxacum) have provided much 

data and expertise, which allowed massive revisions of these genera (in the Appendix). 

I am very grateful for the help of all these recorders and experts and to the staff of The Wildlife Trust 

and at The Potteries Museum for their advice and for allowing me access to their records. Ian Hopkins has 

provided much guidance and many record updates based on his own unrivalled knowledge of the Staffordshire 

flora. I am also indebted to him for pointing out a large number of errors and omissions in the draft documents.

SK15B, Bincliff Thicket, Wetton, 1972 had died by 1974; there were 

half a dozen plants on inaccessible cliffs, near Thor’s Cave, SK05X, 

in 1968: much searching, in the area, from 1972 onwards, was 

unsuccessful. This sp. can be spread by birds and, as there are 

sites nearby, in Derbyshire, it may re-appear in such wooded areas

Appendix 

Hieracia 

The VC list is as follows. Half a dozen species are frequent or occasional in the vice-county. Most other taxa are 

confined to the limestone. Those with no recent records, but likely to be still extant are marked “*”. Re-classification 

according to the treatment of Volume 4 of the Flora of Great Britain and Ireland (Sell and Murrell) is in progress. Last 

sightings are:

The following have been recorded for the Vice-county. Most recent records are given. Frequency indications refer to the 

whole Vice-county and are estimated from the density of dots in Alan Newton/Rob Randall’s Bramble Atlas.

threatened.
