The flora of Great Britain and Ireland is one of the best documented in the world. There are 1390 native species and over 1100 well-established non-natives documented on the islands. A bibliographic database of the species is compiled by the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland.[1] Because of the size of the list, it is spread across multiple pages.

• Part 1 covers ferns and allies (Lycopodiopsida, Equisetopsida and Pteridopsida)
• Part 2 covers the conifers (Pinopsida)

The remaining parts cover the flowering plants (Magnoliopsida):

• Part 3, covering a group of dicotyledon families (Lauraceae to Salicaceae)
• Part 4, covering another group of dicotyledon families (Brassicaceae to Saxifragaceae)
• Part 5, covering the dicotyledon family Rosaceae
• Part 6, covering another group of dicotyledon families (Mimosaceae to Dipsacaceae)
• Part 7, covering the dicotyledon family Asteraceae
• Part 8, covering the monocotyledons (Butomaceae to Orchidaceae)

The list gives an English name and a scientific name for each species, and two symbols are used to indicate status (e for extinct species, and * for introduced species).
