Again, these descriptions as used here, especially the first three, are not mutually exclusive.
Explanation of the term “VC85” During the 1870s H.C.Watson introduced a national scheme dividing Great Britain and Ireland into units for the purpose of natural history recording. This was based on the county boundaries then in existence but as some counties were very large and others quite small, he divided or amalgamated them as appropriate; the resulting areas were described as “vice-counties”. Kinross was joined with Fife, and in accordance with the national numbering system became number 85. There have been numerous changes in local government boundaries since, but the decision was taken many years ago to abide by the Watsonian system. Unfortunately, this means that present-day boundaries often differ considerably to those drawn up in 1874. In the case of Fife, the western parishes of Culross and Tulliallan were originally in Perthshire, so they are technically in VC87; and the same applies to Fossoway parish in Kinross. There are some other differences in boundaries, the most notable being in the Glen Farg district. It must be noted that Kinross is not an area covered by the work of Fife Nature. However as this publication is a joint project with the BSBI’s vice-county recorder for Fife and Kinross it is included for completion. Conventions and Nomenclature The nomenclature and arrangement used in the main list follows Stace’s New Flora of the British Isles (2nd ed 1997), with an occasional amendment as contained in the Supplements to Kent’s List of Vascular Plants of the British Isles (1992). Records considered to be errors are placed in square brackets. Species known to be extinct or not recorded since about 1960 are placed in parenthesis. Localities are given for quite a number of less common or rare species, but by no means for all; it should be noted that the lists for Kirkcaldy District and Kinross have sites for all species mentioned in them. As this list is not intended as a guide to sites, a gazetteer has not been included. Abbreviations are: agg. = aggregate (where a name refers to more than one taxon) cv. = cultivar (i.e. cultivated variety, a horticultural expression) s.s. = sensu stricto (in the strict sense) s.l. = sensu lato (in the wide sense) ssp(p). = subspecies (singular/plural) var. = variety VC = Vice County (see note above) —> = to date
