Herb Species List

This page lists all the Tree and Shrub species identified on the site to-date. Hopefully this list will grow over time as other species are discovered or begin to colonise.

Each species is categorised with both its common and scientific name, along with a 'frequency' based on the standard D.A.F.O.R rating. This gives a guide to the incidence of each species throughout the site as either being Dominant, Abundant, Frequent, Occasional or Rare. Please note that these ratings are only relevant to the site, and a species denoted as rare in this list is not necessarily a rarity.

If the Common Name is underlined, this signifies that there is a photograph of that species in our library: click the link to view the relevant photo and click anywhere imgage to close it. Please be patient while the image loads.
