List Of Extinct Plants Of The British Isles
The following are plant species which are or have been held to be at least nationally extinct in the British Isles, since Britain was cut off from the European continent, including any which have been reintroduced or reestablished, not including regional extirpations. Many of these species persist in other countries. *'' Adonis annua'', pheasant's eye (extinct in Ireland, Scotland and Wales, survives in England) *''Agrostemma githago'', corncockle (died out in Ireland, reintroduced) persists in all countries of the United Kingdom *'' Ajuga genevensis'', blue bugle (extinct across the whole of the British Isles since 1967) *''Anthemis arvensis'', corn chamomile (died out in Ireland, reintroduced) persists in all countries of the United Kingdom *'' Arnoseris minima'', lamb-succory (extinct across the British Isles in 1971) one recent sighting in England *'' Aulacomnium turgidum'', swollen thread moss (extinct in England since 1878) persists in Scotland *'' Bartramia stricta'', uprigh ...

Plant
Plants are predominantly photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi; however, all current definitions of Plantae exclude the fungi and some algae, as well as the prokaryotes (the archaea and bacteria). By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (Latin name for "green plants") which is sister of the Glaucophyta, and consists of the green algae and Embryophyta (land plants). The latter includes the flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms, ferns and their allies, hornworts, liverworts, and mosses. Most plants are multicellular organisms. Green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts that are derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria. Their chloroplasts contain chlorophylls a and b, which gives them their green color. Some plants are parasitic or mycotrophic and have lost the ...

Carex Trinervis
''Carex trinervis'' is a species of sedge which is native to Europe. It is a perennial herb, which grows to a height of 40 cm, has glaucous leaves and spreads by stolons. It bears 2-3, sessile, oblong inflorescences per shoot. It is found in sandy marshes, damp dune slacks and heaths in coastal areas of Western Europe. In the British Isles it was only ever identified in Ormesby, Norfolk, where it became extinct in 1869.

Euphorbia Peplis
''Euphorbia peplis'', the purple spurge, is a species of ''Euphorbia'', native to southern and western Europe, northern Africa, and southwestern Asia, where it typically grows on coastal sand and shingle.''Flora Europaea''''Euphorbia peplis''/ref>Blamey, M. & Grey-Wilson, C. (1989). ''Flora of Britain and Northern Europe''. It is a small, prostrate annual plant, the stems growing to long, typically with four stems from the base. The leaves are opposite, oval, long, grey-green with reddish-purple veins. At the northern edge of its range in England, it has always been rare, and is now extinct Extinction is the termination of a kind of organism or of a group of kinds (taxon), usually a species.

Epipogium Aphyllum
''Epipogium aphyllum'', the ghost orchid (not to be confused with the American ghost orchid, ''Dendrophylax lindenii'') is a hardy myco-heterotrophic orchid lacking chlorophyll. It is famous for its unpredictable appearance; in many localities it has been seen just once. It is found in beech, oak, pine and spruce forests on base-rich soils. It is a rare and critically endangered plant in habitat, and is believed to be extinct throughout much of its former range, although it has been recently confirmed in the United Kingdom (2009), an area where the plants were believed to have gone extinct. The plants are protected in many locales, and removing the plants from habitat or disturbing the plants, even for scientific study, can be a very serious matter in many jurisdictions. These plants are exceptionally rare and should never be removed from habitat or disturbed. In 1926 the Welsh botanist Eleanor Vachell was asked by the British Museum to investigate a report of the ghost orchid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dicranum Elongatum
''Dicranum'' is a genus of mosses, also called wind-blown mosses or fork mosses. These mosses form in densely packed clumps. Stems may fork, but do not branch. In general, upright stems will be single but packed together. ''Dicranum'' is distributed globally. In North America these are commonly found in Jack pine or Red pine stands.

Cystopteris Alpina
''Cystopteris alpina'' is a fern in the family Cystopteridaceae. It is closely related to '' C. fragilis'' and has been treated as conspecific with that species by many authors.Jonsell B (ed).

"Flora Nordica: Volume 1 - Lycopodiacea to Polygonaceae".Bergius Foundation, Stockholm However, according to the Flora of North America, it is an allopolyploid species of hybrid origin, with ''Cystopteris montana'' as one probable parent. It is known to hybridise with '' C. fragilis'' in Scandinavia and intermediate plants possibly of hybrid origin are known from North Wales.Tennant DJ. (2010). “The British records of ''Cystopteris alpina'' (Lamarck) Desvaux; Woodsiaceae”. ''Watsonia'' 28: 57-63 Distribution ''C. alpina'' is a montane species occurring through most of Europe with populations extending into Russia and West-Asian mountain regions.
