Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th June Isle of Wight Leader Colin Pope. An opportunity to see some of the Island’s botanical highlights at this time of year in attractive countryside. On Saturday we will explore East Wight and on Sunday we will look at sites in West Wight. It would be helpful to share cars as parking is limited at some sites.
Saturday 7th June we will start by looking at the floristically rich sand dune community at St Helen’s Duver at the eastern end of the Island. From here we will move on to look for Orobanche purpurea (Yarrow Broomrape) and then visit Lake Allotments. This is possibly the only permanent extant UK site for Fumaria reuteri (Martin’s Ramping Fumitory). It grows with F. purpurea (Purple Ramping-Fumitory) and F. muralis ssp. boraei (Common Ramping-Fumitory). We will then visit St Lawrence Bank. This is a tiny Wildlife Trust reserve and the easiest place to see Melampyrum arvense (Field Cow-wheat). Orobanche hederae (Ivy Broomrape) can also be seen here. We will then follow the clifftop path, with splendid views, to look for further populations of Field Cow-wheat and also Silene nutans (Nottingham Catchfly).
Sunday 8th June we will visit Afton Down and cliffs, parking in the National Trust car park above Freshwater Bay. This is a good area for Gentianella anglica (Early Gentian) in a good year, and we are also likely to see Cerastium pumillum Dwarf Mouse-ear), Thesium humifusum (Bastard Toadflax) and Ranunculus parviflorus (Small-flowered Buttercup). Along the cliffs there are Matthiola incana (Hoary Stock), Brassica oleracea var. oleracea (Wild Cabbage), long-established Lobularia maritima (Sweet Alison), Glaucium flavum (Yellow Horned-poppy), Valerianella eriocarpa (Hairy-fruited Cornsalad), Spergularia rupicola (Rock Sea-Spurrey) and Torilis nodosa (Knotted Hedge-parsley). We will finish with a visit to the Newtown estuary area where we hope to see Genista tinctoria (Dyer’s Greenweed), Oenanthe pimpinelloides (Corky-fruited Water-dropwort), Orchis morio (Green-winged Orchid), Gaudinia fragilis (French Oat-grass), Myosurus minimus (Mousetail) and Carex divisa (Divided Sedge).
Thursday 26th to Sunday 29th June County Waterford, Ireland. Leader Paul Green A good variety of habitats will be visited from coast to mountain.

Species to be seen will include: Sorbus hibernica (Irish Whitebeam), Euphorbia hyberna (Irish spurge), Saxifraga spathularis (St Patrick’s-cabbage), Rumex acetosa subsp. hibernicus, Trichomanes speciousum (Killarney Fern), Aspenium onopteris (Irish Spleenwort) and Minuartia recurva (Recurved Sandwort) and Luzula multiflora subsp. hibernica (Heather Woodtrush) etc. As Dungarvan is at the centre of the four different days, it is planned to be based here, but will drive from here each day. There is a small airport on the edge of Waterford city and another by Cork city. There are various ferries to Rosslare, Co. Wexford and to Cork.
Saturday and Sunday 12th, 13th July East Norfolk Leader: Bob Ellis.
Saturday: Yarmouth North Denes SSSI This large area of sand dunes just to the north of Great Yarmouth on the east Norfolk coast includes an extensive area of acid dune grassland supporting good populations of Corynephorus canescens (Grey Hair-grass) and Jasione montana (Sheep's-bit). A wide range of species have been recorded here including Vulpia fasciculata (Dune fescue). The short turf in front of the caravan park supports several small Trifolium species, including T. glomeratum (Clustered Clover) and T. suffocatum (Suffocated Clover). Towards the south of the denes, a number of interesting aliens have been found including Anthemis punctata (Sicilian Chamomile) and the distinctive Hieracium lanatum (Woolly Hawkweed).
Sunday: Strumpshaw Fen (RSPB reserve) This fen in the Yare valley allows easy access to several of the Broadland specialities, such as Lathyrus palustris (Marsh Pea) and Thelypteris palustris (Marsh Fern). A variety of ochids occur in the adjacent fen meadow, including Epipactis palustris (Marsh Helleborine). Several species of sedge can be found (Carex x rotae) was recently discovered here) and the ditches support a number of aquatic species typical of the area. If time permits, we may go on to visit Cantley Marshes further down the valley to see more plants of the grazing marsh ditches, hopefully including Potamogeton acutifolius (Sharp-leaved Pondweed).
Saturday 19th to Sunday 20th July NE Cornwall Leader Matt Stribley. The weekend will take in varied habitats in northeast Cornwall, and will include some of the following: A visit to Greena Moor (SX2395), Cornwalls largest area of Culm Grassland with Cirsium dissectum (Meadow Thistle), Hypericum undulatum (Wavy St John's-wort), Carum verticillatum (Whorled Caraway), Scutellaria minor (Lesser Skullcap), Ranunculus tripartitus (Three-lobed Crowfoot), Dactylorhiza maculata subsp. ericetorum (Heath Spotted-orchid), Platanthera bifolia (Lesser Butterfly-orchid) and Vicia orobus (Wood Bitter-vetch). The coastal area around Bude (SS20) including a wide variety of habitats, with species to be found including Ruppia maritima (Beaked Tasselweed), Ophrys apifera (Bee Orchid), Cirsium acaule (Dwarf Thistle), Trifolium occidentale (Western Clover), Allium ampeloprasum var. babingtonii (Wild Leek), Euphorbia portlandica (Portland Spurge) and Lathyrus nissolia (Grass Vetchling).
Several alien species around the streets of Bude will be seen. Coastal walk on dramatic sea cliffs at Marsland Mouth (SS21) and Sandymouth (SS20) to look for Vicia sylvatica (Wood Vetch) and Dianthus armeria (Deptford Pink)and other coastal species such as Euphorbia portlandica (Portland Spurge). Walk around the edge of Upper Tamar Lake (SS21), for Rorippa islandica (Northern Yellow-cress) and other mud species. Local botanists will be arranging a get together in a local pub on the Friday evening (18th July), where a short introduction to the area will be made and plans for the weekend explained. Numbers are limited to 20.
19th to 21st July Ben Lawers Leader Chris Metherell. The meeting will spend three days (if the weather is OK!) looking at the alpine plants Ben Lawers and the surrounding area. Where we go when will depend upon the weather. However I would hope that we will see the majority of the rarities – Saxifrage cernua (Drooping Saxifrage), Carex microglochin (Bristle Sedge), Veronica fruticans (Rock Speedwell), Mysotis alpestris (Alpine Forget-me-not) and so forth. The downside is that the course will involve a very high degree of fitness. Ben Lawers alone is not a mountain to be trifled with – at almost 4,000 ft it takes four hours of steep climbing, albeit on paths, (without stopping) to get to the top and then several hours botanising on the way down – probably 10 hours on the hill in total. The other days are not quite so arduous but one will involve some steep scrambling. It will probably be a fairly late finish on the Monday, depending upon where we are on which day, which depends on the weather. I am happy to take 12 on the course. We will, I hope, have four leaders. A ratio of 3:1 is fairly safe in these circumstances I think.
15th – 17th August 2007 W. F. S. /Somerset Rare Plants Group Exmoor “Come and Find” Meeting. Based at the Exmoor National Park, Pinkery Centre, Simonbath. Where accommodation: bed breakfast and evening meal, will be available to those attending the meeting (price available on request to Stephen Parker).

Friday 31st October. East Prawle, Gammon Head and Venerick's Cove. Last Day Hunt Leader Simon Leach. Meet 10.30a.m. East Prawle village green (SX78133640), for a leisurely 5km walk involving hedgebanks, trackways and varied habitats along the coastal cliffs. A final opportunity to complete your list for the Last Week Count. The same walk in the last week of October 2007 produced a total of about 90 species in flower, including Euphorbia portlandica (Portland Spurge) , Geranium sanguineum (Bloody Crane's-bell)and Lotus subbiflorus (Hairy Bird's-foot-trefoil). The circuit takes in one of the strongholds of Rumex rupestris in S.W. England. The final descent to Venerick's Cove involves a twent-foot drop with the assistance of a rope, but it's actually much easier than it sounds (and can be missed out if desired). Also some rock clambering to reach the Rumex rupestris (Shore Dock). Other than that, a relatively straightforward coastal walk with mainly gentle to moderate slopes. Low tide is about midday. Bring your own packed lunch, but note there is a small shop and café (which may or may not be open), and a pub, on the green at East Prawle. Stout walking shoes and wet weather gear advisable! Please also note that much of the walk is 'out of range' for mobile phones. Contact Simon Leach email Simon Leach (simonleach@phonecoop.coop) or Tel. 01823-323782.
The Wild Flower Society is very grateful to all those who give their time and expertise when leading meetings. Offers to lead meetings will be gratefully received at any time. We particularly need leaders for one-day ones. In this case there is no need to be an expert or to show rarities. A variety of species in pleasant surroundings is all that is necessary.
Early Stagers meetings are specially suited to those wishing more detailed explanations of the plants shown. Beginners are especially welcome at all meetings. Leaders and others in the group will be pleased to help them if they make themselves known.
Members who do not drive and who have difficulty reaching the starting point of either Main or One-day events should contact the leader.
Packed lunches are required unless otherwise stated and will often need to be carried.
Please DO NOT bring dogs to any meeting as some landowners do not like them on their property.
All those attending WFS Field Meetings do so at their own risk.
