BROOK
MEADOW - PLANTS
BUTTERBUR
COUNTS
I usually count the
number of Butterbur flower spikes on Broom Meadow at
least twice each year in late March to Early April,
before they get buried beneath the surrounding
vegetation. The following chart shows the maximum
count for each year.
Butterbur
count 2012
I carried out the
annual count of Butterbur flower spikes on 22 March
2012 - about the same date as in previous years. The
total count came to 546 which is considerably down on
the record high of 859 last year, but more in line
with the 597 of 2010 and the 467 of 2009. The decrease
from last year is mainly due to a fall-off in plants
on the river banks and on the south meadow. As shown
in the following chart the number of Butterbur flower
spikes remains high in comparison with the years 1999
to 2008.
The increase has been
due to the spread of plants onto the embankment and
meadow in front of the seat. Six years ago there were
relatively few plants in this area, but now over 60%
of the total number of Butterbur flowers are in this
area. Here is a breakdown of the figures for the main
areas.

RAGGED
ROBIN COUNTS
I also count the number
of flowering Ragged Robin plants on Brook Meadow in late
May to early June. The chart below shows the maximum
counts each year from 2002.
Ragged
Robin count - 21 May 2011
On 21 May 2011 I did what
I think will have to be my final Ragged Robin count of
the year this morning, as many of the flowers are
starting to wither. I counted 163 plants on the Lumley
area and another 51 on the area north of causeway, giving
a total of 214. This is well below the record count of
625 last year, but better than any year since 2006.
FULL
LIST OF PLANTS
(up-dated
to 10 September 2011)
Here is the complete list
of plants, in alphabetical order of English name, that
have been identified on the Brook Meadow site since the
conservation group was set up in year 2000. Note: many of
these plants are not found on the meadow every year. Some
have not been seen for many years and have probably gone
for good.
Note, the Brook Meadow
site also includes copses and waterways, as well as the
main grassland.
Many people have helped
to assemble this list, including Ralph Hollins, Gwynne
Johnson and Pete Selby, sadly the latter two are now
deceased. Rod Stern was responsible for the list of
bryophytes. I am also grateful to Martin Rand, the BSBI
Recorder for South Hants for his help in surveying the
plants on Brook Meadow and for answering many queries and
for checking the plant list. Joel Miller of the Hampshire
Biodiversity Information Centre did a survey in September
2006 in which several new plants were recorded.
The names of the plants
are as in Francis Rose's books: "The Wild Flower Key" and
"Grasses, Sedges, Rushes and Ferns"
CURRENT
LIST
Herbs = 223, Trees and
Shrubs = 56, Grasses = 34, Sedges = 12, Rushes = 6,
Horsetails = 2, Ferns = 2. Total
= 335
Plus - Mosses and
Liverworts = 23.
MEADOW
INDICATORS N = 9
I have not yet heard from
Martin Rand about a definitive list of meadow indicators.
However, here is a provisional list that we have been
using for some years. We don't find them all every
year.
Smooth Brome - Lumley
area east path
Festulolium Hybrids -
north meadow west path
Meadow Barley - various
locations
Distant Sedge - Lumley
area and north meadow
Hoary Ragwort - north
causeway and north meadow
Pepper-saxifrage - Lumley
area east
Stone Parsley - Seagull
Lane patch
Marsh Arrowgrass -
"Lumley puddle"
Strawberry Clover -
Lumley area - east path
Recent
additions
07 October 2010 -
Russian Vine (Fallopia baldschuanica)
(originally incorrectly called Potato Vine).
About three small flowering plants inside the Seagull
Lane gate. Clearly seedlings from the large vine in the
garden hedge at the end of Seagull Lane.
25 June 2011 - Common
Figwort (Scrophularia nodosa) One tall plant
(6 foot) of in flower on the southern part of the Bramble
path in the south meadow. Water Figwort has been on the
list for some years, but this was the first ever Common
Figwort, easily distinguished from Water Figwort by its
pointed and coarsely toothed leaves.
29 June 2011 -
Traveller's Joy (Clematis vitalba) Flowers
were growing out of the tangled vegetation immediately
behind the recycling bins in the north-east corner of the
car park.
10 September 2011 -
Field Madder (Sherardia arvensis) Flowering
on the side of the path leading from the end of Seagull
Lane to the railway arch.
8 October 2011 - Wild
Radish (Raphanus raphanistreum) A good
flowering in the south eastern corner of the south
meadow.
24 October 2011 -
Japanese Spindle (Euonymus japonicus) on
the west bank of the River Ems just south of the north
bridge. Identified by Ralph Hollins.
