1 The Woodland Plant Trail Plant ID Guide How to use this guide: This guide covers common plants that we are interested in finding out about in the Woodland Plant Trail. It does not cover all the plants you might find. If you are unsure what something is you can take a photo and post it to our Facebook page: plymouthwoodlandproject or upload it to ispot.org.uk START HERE: Woody plants (pages 2-5): plants with stems made of wood - includes tree saplings and shrubs:... with simple leaves, meaning the leaf is entire and not divided into a number of mini-leaves or leaflets check page 2 and 3... with compound leaves, meaning the leaf is made up of a number of smaller leaflets check page 4 and 5 Simple leaves Non-woody plants (pages 5-17) Compound leaves... with compound leaves check pages 5-7 OR if it could be a fern, check pages 16 and with leaves arranged spoke-like around the stem check page 8... with simple leaves:... and toothed edges check pages and un-toothed edges check pages Ferns (page 16-17): Ferns may have simple of compound-type leaves. Check these pages if you think it might be a fern. 1

2 Woody plants with simple leaves: Sycamore, Acer pseudoplatanus Leaves: Leaf with 5 lobes, described as palmate (like the outstretched palm of a hand). Leaf edges are toothed, and leaf is somewhat wrinkly. Often seen with black tar spots in late summer, caused by a parasitic fungus. Woodland Trust General: Not native, but has grown naturally in UK for centuries. Can grow in shady places and has large leaves and a dense canopy that cast a heavy shade beneath. Beech, Fagus sylvatica Leaves: Oval with a pointed tip. Leaf surface has a crimped or wavy appearance. You should see fine white hairs on leaf edge if you look very closely. Other features: Smooth greyish bark. Distinctive buds before leaves come out they are long, pointed, and orange-brown. Woodland Trust General: A large native tree, the saplings are tolerant of dense shade, and mature trees cast dense shade. Hazel, Corylus avellana Leaves: Feel soft and hairy. Edges are serrated or toothed, and the leaf is wider towards the top, with a thin point at the tip (which makes it look as though the tip has been pinched into a point). General: A small native tree, with pale, often shiny bark. Often has a bushy appearance with many branches arising from its base. Not usually in deep shade. Woodland Trust 2

3 Woody plants with simple leaves: Oak, Quercus species Leaves: Leaf is longer than it is wide, and has many lobes (meaning the leaf shape is very wavy). Other features: Bark is rough and gnarly when old. General: We have two native oak species - English and Sessile oak. The young trees do not grow well in deep shade and tend to prefer lighter areas. Woodland Trust Cherry laurel, Prunus laurocerasus Leaves: Long, oval, evergreen leaves, without prickles. They are tough and glossy. Flowers: Fragrant white flowers clustered in long spikes. Image credit 1 General: A non-native tree or shrub that can spread over large areas and shade-out native species. Holly, Ilex aquifolium Leaves: Shiny, tough, glossy and evergreen. They have very obvious prickles when young, but older leaves are less prickly. General: Native tree or shrub common in shady woodlands. Young stems are green and flexible, but become woody with age. Woodland Trust 3

4 Woody plants with compound leaves: Ash, Fraxinus excelsior Leaves: The picture here show one ash leaf. It is made up of 7-13 mini-leaves or leaflets, arranged in opposite pairs up the stem, with one leaflet at the tip. Leaflets have slightly toothed edges. Other features: Distinctive black buds before the leaves come out. Woodland Trust General: Large native tree. Not usually in deep shade. Has quite an open canopy, so does not cast a very dense shade. Rowan, Sorbus aucuparia Leaves: Similar leaf to ash - the picture here shows one rowan leaf. It is made up of mini-leaves or leaflets, arranged in opposite pairs with one leaflet at the tip. Leaflets have serrated or toothed edges. General: Small, native tree. White flowers in dense clusters in May. Clusters of red berries in autumn. Woodland Trust Elder, Sambucus nigra Leaves: The picture here shows one elder leaf. It is made up of 5 7 hairless mini-leaves or leaflets, in opposite pairs, with one at the tip. Leaflets up to 12cm long each. They have toothed edges and a pungent smell when crushed. Woodland Trust General: A native shrub, with corky-looking bark which is greyish-brown to yellow-brown. Dense, flat-topped and sweet-scented clusters of white flowers in May. Elder berries are black, and hang in dense clusters in summer. 4

5 Thorny plants with compound leaves: Dog rose, Rosa canina Native shrub that grows best in open areas. Has green to purple stems with strongly curved thorns.

16 Ferns Unlike other plants in this guide, ferns are non-flowering plants. They are primitive plants, that existed before plants evolved flowers for reproduction. Instead, ferns produce spores on the underside of the leaf. These are dispersed by the wind. Ferns are made up of fronds that usually unfurl in Spring. Fronds may be undivided and simple like Hart s tongue fern (pictured below) or may be branched to form pinnate, bi-pinnate or tri-pinnate fronds. The illustrations below explain these branching patterns: Pinnate branching Bi-pinnate branching Tri-pinnate branching Hart s tongue fern, Asplenium scolopendrium Unbranched, simple frond that is tongue-shaped and pointed at the tip. Young fronds are bright green and darken with age cm long, and 3-6cm wide. Hard fern, Blechnum spicant Pinnate. Edges are un-toothed. Fern is glossy and rigid, hence the name hard fern. Fronds are around 20-40cm long. 16

17 Ferns Common male fern, Dryopteris filix-mas Bi-pinnate. Fronds grow in shuttlecock-like clumps (bottom right). Up to 150cm tall. Frond are widest in the middle, and narrow at the base and tip. Stalks are covered in brown scales. Close up of the pinnules, which are un-toothed or faintly toothed, with blunt tips Broad buckler fern, Dryopteris dilatata Tri-pinnate. Fronds grow in clumps, up to 90cm tall. Fronds are widest towards the base giving them a triangular shape overall. Stalks have brown scales with a dark stripe down the middle of each scale. Close up of the pinnules, which are toothed, and mitten shaped. Bracken, Pteridium aquilinum Tri-pinnate (sometimes mistaken as bi -pinnate, as mature fern is made up of 5 or more distinct bi-pinnate triangles, in opposite pairs of the main stem ). A large fern, between 1-3 metres tall in summer. Dies back completely in winter. Image credit19 Image credit20 17
