| GA000091 | Vascular Plants Database | Botanical Society of the British Isles | Description This database of 9.8 million records contains the distributions of 6669 taxa of flowering plants and ferns. Most of these records have been collected by volunteer members of the Botanical Society of the British Isles (BSBI) and include those gathered for the Atlas of the British Flora (Perring & Walters, 1962) and the New Atlas of the British and Irish flora (Preston, Pearman & Dines, 2002). The latter is a collation of many datasets (including those held by BSBI vice-county recorders), some included in this database in full and others as summary data; the major sources of data are outlined in the New Atlas text. The availability of data at resolutions higher than 10km square varies between sources. The collated data have been validated at the 10km square level by BSBI Vice-County recorders and the editors for those taxa mapped in the New Atlas, and were believed to provide a good representation of vascular plant distributions in Britain and Ireland at the time of publication. Records of infraspecific taxa and hybrids which were not mapped in the New Atlas have been scrutinised less closely. An update of around 900,000 records was made to the dataset in January 2007, to include the data from the BSBI Local Change survey (Braithwaite et al., 2006), data from the Flora of Oxfordshire (Killick et al., 1998) and the Isle of Wight Flora (Pope et al., 2003), records of hybrid plants and a variety of other records. Some corrections to the New Atlas dataset have also been made. Method The records are compiled from many sources and do not conform to any one method. Nearly all will include a 10km square but quite often other information is missing. Purpose Geographical Coverage Britain & Ireland, the Channel Isles and Isle of Man. Geographical Coverage Britain & Ireland, the Channel Isles and Isle of Man. Temporal Coverage 1629-2006 Data Quality Records are variable in quality. Many records are detailed, with six-figure grid references and full dates, but many are not. A certain level of duplication can be expected. Experience is needed in interpretation.
