Vegetation of the Peak District
Year: 1913
Type: book
Abstract: one-inch maps as had been anticipated, owing to the fact that the six-inch maps of the moorlands of the district, with the exception of those in the West Riding of Yorkshire, are not contoured.With regard to the nomenclature of plant communities, the terms plant formation and plant association are used in accordance with resolutions passed unanimously by the British Vegetation Committee, and presented to the International Congress of Botanists held at Brussels in 1910.They are used in the same sense throughout Tansley's Types of British Vegetation.The names of plants are, as a rule, the same as those given in the tenth, the latest edition of The London Catalogue of British Plants (London, 1908).This being so, the authorcitation is omitted, as being unnecessary in a work of this character : synonyms, however, are added in special cases.The sequence adopted is that of Engler's system which, in several European countries and in the United States of America, is rapidly superseding that of Bentham and Hooker.I wish to thank
