In 1996 ENHS produced The Flora and Fauna of Exmoor National Park listing 8243 species which had been recorded. (Now out of print). Since then there have been a number of additions published annually in Exmoor Naturalist magazine. The following lists show what we have recorded as of June 2020 , now 10,261 species from the Exmoor National Park Area, plus Minehead and Dunster Beach. It is hoped there will also be future additions and updates.

Freshwater-Algae: Updated to September 2020 to include all reports to Exmoor Naturalist No. 46 Pt 2.
Introduction to the Freshwater AlgaeThe Freshwater Algae fall into five groups which are each recorded by Scientific Names from A-Z in the following list. The groups cover Green Algae and Desmids, Stoneworts, Brown Algae and Diatoms, Blue-green Algae and Red Algae. For Seaweeds please see the Maritime Check-List. The study of Algae requires microscopic research and little has been done in this section by Exmoor Natural History Field Recorders. In the 1950s Dr W. Watson published a list of his findings in the SANHS Proceedings. For sake of completeness, these are included in the following list, with due acknowledgement. Further, up to date work on this subject would be advantageous

Lichens: Updated to August 2022 to include all reports to Exmoor Naturalist No. 49 Pt 1.
Introduction to Lichen ListThe following List includes all Lichens and Lichenicolous Fungi recorded by Exmoor Natural History Society. These are arranged in one alphabetical list by their Scientific names and nomenclature mainly follows Checklist of Lichens of Great Britain and Ireland, Brian J. Coppins, British Lichen Society 2002. There are some later additions and there may be a few duplications where synonyms have not been evident. We would appreciate any information or corrections. Our original Check-List was based on our 1996 publication The Flora and Fauna of Exmoor National Park. For this we were grateful for assistance from many experts including Dr Mark Seaward, Pat Wolseley, A.M. O’Dare, Sandy O’Dare, Dr Brian Coppins and our own recorders Noel Allen and John Robbins. To this list we now add Graham Boswell. All are now once again thanked for their help

Maritime Invertebrates & Seaweeds. Updated to September 2020 to include all reports to Exmoor Naturalist No. 46 Pt 2.
Introduction to the Maritime Section.This check-list of Maritime species falls into two sections: One: INVERTEBRATES found along our 30 miles of coastline and on our beaches and Two: SEAWEEDS.
The invertebrates are here listed in alphabetical order A-Z by Common Names. Scientific names may be found by use of the Search Box.
The Society has had several Recorders of Maritime Life since 1974 and in our early days we received much help from Dr J.H. Crothers of the Field Study Centre at Nettlecombe.
The Seaweeds, or Marine Algae fall into three groups: Green, Red and Brown. Each group is here listed separately in alphabetical order A-Z by Scientific Names. As in the Freshwater Algae, a number of items have been extracted from the List compiled by Dr W. Watson in the 1950s. These are acknowledged where applicable.
For other Maritime Plants, Lichens, Birds, Insects etc. please see appropriate sections of these Check-Lists.

Plants: Wild flowers, Ferns Trees and Clubmosses A-G.
Plants Wild flowers Ferns Trees and Clubmosses A-G. In The Flora and Fauna of Exmoor National Park, The Exmoor Natural History Society’s Checklist (1996), we listed 1187 Flowering Plants plus 41 Ferns and allies and 23 conifers making a total of 1251 species recorded. Since then, there have been many new finds by members, numerous changes in nomenclature, changes of policy as to what should be included in the way of alien species, etc. making a complete update necessary. This has now been done and the present list includes all species, arranged in alphabetical order by Common Name as we feel this method will be most useful to members. Scientific Names may be quickly accessed by use of the search box. All species are now included in one list with the prefix Fern used for all ferns, likewise Clubmoss, Horsetail, Sedge and Rush occur as prefixes. Grasses, Orchids, Conifers and other trees are listed normally in alphabetical order. Notes on frequency, when given, refer to Exmoor only, the case may be quite different elsewhere. All plants listed have been found growing in wild situations, not planted as far as we know unless stated otherwise. Recent synonyms are given in brackets following the current name. Most records have been supplied by ENHS members since 1974 but some historic, museum and literature records are also included. Thanks are due to many, including County Recorders past and present, Botanical Societies and members.

Plants: Wild-flowers and Trees H-M
Plants:Wild-flowers and Trees H-M. In The Flora and Fauna of Exmoor National Park, The Exmoor Natural History Society’s Checklist (1996), we listed 1187 Flowering Plants plus 41 Ferns and allies and 23 conifers making a total of 1251 species recorded. Since then, there have been many new finds by members, numerous changes in nomenclature, changes of policy as to what should be included in the way of alien species, etc. making a complete update necessary. This has now been done and the present list includes all species, arranged in alphabetical order by Common Name as we feel this method will be most useful to members. Scientific Names may be quickly accessed by use of the search box. All species are now included in one list with the prefix Fern used for all ferns, likewise Clubmoss, Horsetail, Sedge and Rush occur as prefixes. Grasses, Orchids, Conifers and other trees are listed normally in alphabetical order. Notes on frequency, when given, refer to Exmoor only, the case may be quite different elsewhere. All plants listed have been found growing in wild situations, not planted as far as we know unless stated otherwise. Recent synonyms are given in brackets following the current name. Most records have been supplied by ENHS members since 1974 but some historic, museum and literature records are also included. Thanks are due to many, including County Recorders past and present, Botanical Societies and members.

Plants: Wild-flowers and Trees N-Z
Plants: Wild-flowers and Trees N-Z.In The Flora and Fauna of Exmoor National Park, The Exmoor Natural History Society’s Checklist (1996), we listed 1187 Flowering Plants plus 41 Ferns and allies and 23 conifers making a total of 1251 species recorded. Since then, there have been many new finds by members, numerous changes in nomenclature, changes of policy as to what should be included in the way of alien species, etc. making a complete update necessary. This has now been done and the present list includes all species, arranged in alphabetical order by Common Name as we feel this method will be most useful to members. Scientific Names may be quickly accessed by use of the search box. All species are now included in one list with the prefix Fern used for all ferns, likewise Clubmoss, Horsetail, Sedge and Rush occur as prefixes. Grasses, Orchids, Conifers and other trees are listed normally in alphabetical order. Notes on frequency, when given, refer to Exmoor only, the case may be quite different elsewhere. All plants listed have been found growing in wild situations, not planted as far as we know unless stated otherwise. Recent synonyms are given in brackets following the current name. Most records have been supplied by ENHS members since 1974 but some historic, museum and literature records are also included. Thanks are due to many, including County Recorders past and present, Botanical Societies and members.
