Vascular plants
:This section currently lists non-critical species and critical species in the smaller apomictic genera; many microspecies in the apomictic genera "Hieracium" (hawkweeds), "Rubus" (brambles) and "Taraxacum" (dandelions) are also found at just a single site each.
Notes
# Common Crane, although occurring in fluctuating numbers as a scarce spring & autumn migrant through Britain, with occasional individuals or pairs wintering or summering, has only established a single breeding population, in the Norfolk Broads (see Cranes in Britain for more details); the species was thought to be quite widespread in the Middle Ages, but the term 'crane' was also often applied to Grey Heron, making a reliable determination of historical status difficult
