• Woodland formed of deciduous trees has a flora of plants that come into leaf and flower early and catch the light before the leaves on the trees cut it out. Plants such as Early Purple Orchid (Orchis mascula) and Bluebell (Endymion non-scriptus) are characteristic. Most of the low-lying part of Great Britain would naturally be covered in oakwood. Beech trees often intercept so much light that in some beechwoods no plants can survive except those such as the Birdsnest Orchid (Neottia nidus-avis), living on dead leaves. Britain is on the edge of the beechwood range and is found mainly in the south of England.
• Pinewoods have leaves on the trees all year, but natural pinewoods have well-scattered trees and ample light, and seem very different from the sombre plantations. The flora normally comprises dwarf shrubs, mainly in the heather family (Ericaceae), of which the commonest is heather Calluna vulgaris. When the trees are cleared, the same areas form the vast tracts of heather moorland, so characteristic of the British hills. These moors have very few plants in their flora.
• Grasslands have very different flowers depending on whether they are on acid, neutral or lime-rich soils, and whether they are cut for hay or grazed. In grazed pastures the plants are often low-growing, with their buds low down and protected. Hay-meadows, usually neutral grassland, contain taller plants, flowering in spring and early summer, but they too have their buds low down.
• Saltmarshes formed in estuaries are often grass-covered, and also include many members of the Goosefoot family. Many of the plants are succulent (Glassworts - Salicornia) and flower late in the year. Succulence enables them to counteract the salt in the soil.

"Tom Wells, from the Chelsea Physic Garden, said to the Times that wolfsbane was one of the most dangerous plants found in Britain’s gardens.

“The roots are where the highest level of poison is found, although it is still found in the flower,” he said. “If there were cuts on his hand, it would enter his bloodstream and affect his heart very quickly.”

In severe cases the poisoning causes heart arrhythmia, paralysis of the heart and respiratory problems. Other symptoms include vomiting, dizziness and diarrhoea." from The Independent.

Acid Soils have few basic minerals such as calcium and magnesium and are typically formed on rocks such as sandstones and granites.

Annual plants live for a year or less.

Base-rich or basic soils have large amounts of basic minerals (mainly calcium) and so are only slightly acid, neutral or alkaline.

Bogs occur on wet, more or less acid peat, and are often dominated by sphagnum mosses and sedges.

Calcareous soils are formed over chalk and limestone, and so are extremely base -rich. They are never more than slightly acid at the surface, and typically have a rich flora.

Casual plants appear only irregularly and are not native to the area.

Cones in horsetails and clubmosses are the fertile, spore-bearing region, more or less clearly differentiated from the stem.

Dunes are areas of wind-blown, usually calcareous shell-sand near the sea, with areas of damp ground termed 'slacks' in between.

Fens occur on base-rich peat, in contrast to bogs which are acid; the source of the bases is always infiltrating water from the surrounding land, since peat has no mineral reserves. Poor fens are nutrient-poor or acid, changing to bogs.

Heaths are dry, heather- or gorse-dominated areas in lowland regions, with rather acid soils. Wet heaths lie between bogs and heaths.

Margin is edge.

Marshes are wet habitats on mineral soils, though often with a thin layer of peat.

Moors are the upland counterpart of heaths and are typically dominated by heather, though bilberry, grasses or mosses may be important components.

Peat is a soil wholly composed of the un- or partially decomposed remains of plants which once grew on the site. It typically occurs in waterlogged conditions in which decomposition is very slow. Peats are found in fens and bogs.

Perennials are plants that survive for more than a single growing season.

Rhizomes are underground stems, from which shoots arise, sometimes swollen with stored food. They may be horizontal and far-creeping, short, or even upright.

Slack is a damp area in a sand-dune system.

Waste places are areas much disturbed by man, but not cultivated.

Wintergreen is a plant that remains green through the winter.
