Description

Records of algae, chromists and some bryophytes, excluding INNS, from the Outer Hebrides recorded up to 4 August 2022. Includes records collected directly from individual recorders and those collected by the Highland Biological Recording Group (HBRG). Records of bryophytes collated after November 2014 are submitted to the NBN by the British Bryological Society. Collation and mobilisation of this dataset has been funded by grants from NatureScot. Not all the records of freswater algae have been included as the UKSI requires up-dating and a large numbe of species are not currently included in the taxonomic dictionary. Please contact OHBR for further information. OHBR maintains a regional database of records of the flora, fungi and fauna of the Outer Hebrides and the surrounding marine areas. Please refer to OHBR website (www.ohbr.org.uk)
