Our thanks to Mr Tanner for allowing our group to conduct a botanical survey around the dam and for having the use of the private car park. Also thanks to Ken Gartsdie for making the arrangements with Mr Tanner for the access to private land.

Tanner's Dam Survey


Athyrium filix-femina var. rubrum
Ilex aquifolium 'Ferox'


I looked at the Polypodium on return. The one from the woodland that had the classic, more or less parallel sided shape as per the book P. vulgare was indeed that. I took a sample from one outside the house we passed on the private road which was growing on a low wall along with many plants of Hart's-tongue which was more ovate in shape and I thought it might be P. interjectum. The sporangia were immature but nonetheless have 12-14 indurated annulus cells and 1 basal cell meaning it is also P. vulgare. As I said the field characters given in the books are not always good in Polypodium.
