This illustrated guide to 65 common flowers has been produced to help people complete
the Common Plants Survey.
The 65 species are chosen to be easy to identify and to be indicator species representative
of a wide range of habitats. These are the species which form the basis of the Common
Plants Survey. The list includes such familiar plants as traveller’s-joy from woodland edges,
red dead-nettle and common poppy from arable field margins; heather from moorland,
buck’s horn plantain and thrift from the coast; and yellow flag and marsh-marigold from
wetlands.

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
The flowers have been arranged by colour and strips on the edge of the page should help
you to find groups of flowers of the same colour. Both the English and Latin names for each
plant are given along with further information about when the plant flowers, its size, habitat,
and key features which help you distinguish it from other plants. The bar on the picture of
each plant shows a 1cm scale. You may find it helpful to take with you a small ruler, marked
with millimeters.
