Flora of the British Isles

The Flora of the British Isles refers to the complete collection of plant species found across the region, including wildflowers, trees, grasses, mosses, and algae. It encompasses both native plants that have grown here for thousands of years and non-native species introduced through human activity. Studying this flora helps us understand the biodiversity, ecosystems, and environmental changes over time. The British Isles' diverse climate, soils, and habitats support a wide range of plants, making the flora a vital part of the natural heritage and ecological health of the region.
