Forth Naturalist and Historian, volume 22 61 PLANTS IN FALKIRK DISTRICT: AN UPDATE W. R. Brackenridge The following list is an interim update of the list published in a previous edition of the FNH (Stewart, 1988), and it is based on data gathered during recent ‘Phase 2’ site surveys by Keith Watson in 1994 and 1997 for Scottish Natural Heritage. These were mostly Wildlife Sites which were felt to require detailed survey by the Scottish Wildlife Trust, also some raised bog sites. It also includes records from W. Brackenridge, from 1991 to 1995 (referred to by WB). A large number of additional species, listed alphabetically by scientific name, have been located in the district. The identifications follow Stace (1991). It should be noted that some of the places referred to may be subject to development (housing, etc.), however the diversity of species on recentlydisturbed, or derelict sites around industrial areas, is highly significant. Although the semi-natural woodlands, wetlands and the Forth estuary and its environs will perhaps receive priority, such species-rich sites are of considerable interest. These ‘new habitats’ may be included in the drawing up of Local Biodiversity Action Plans (LBAPs) by Falkirk Council, as with other local authorities. The survey by Watson was a review of Wildlife Sites and to recommend other potential sites, to aid planning policy. Many of the additional species are ‘exotic’ plants, which have escaped from gardens or parks, or have been dumped on roadsides and riverbanks. Some of these ‘aliens’, such as Giant Hogweed and Japanese Knotweed have spread considerably in the last decade and may now require control measures, whilst some native species of semi-natural (especially upland) habitats are declining because of the re-seeding of old pastures, afforestation and open-cast mining. Those records referring to the Jupiter Wildlife Garden do not include the species introduced there since 1992, however several unusual or rare plants had already become established (Brackenridge, 1996). The author would welcome further records of plants which are known to occur, which are missing from either Stewart’s paper or the undernoted lists. All records are from 1994-97 unless otherwise dated. Additional species (I denotes garden escapes or other naturalised plants) Agrostis gigantea (Black Bent) Rare : Carron Meander, West Mains Pond. Alchemilla vestita ssp. filicaulis (a Lady’s Mantle) : Rare : Braes Wood, Westquarter Glen. Alnus incana I (Grey Alder) : Rare: West Mains Pond (but now widely planted and suckering). Aruncus dioicus I (Buck’s-beard) : Rare : Polmont Park. Azolla filiculoides I (Water Fern) : Rare : Kinneil Estate (WB-1992).
