About this deal

Bryophyte flora: Examples of this type of plant are mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. For example, Mosses flora form about 12.000 species. They are bryophytes, nonvascular and primitive flora. In addition, they bear spores. They are distributed all over the world but cannot be found in saltwater. They are mainly used in the erosion of the soil.

d) Phanerogamae: this type includes plants that bear seeds. This type has differentiated stems, roots, leaves, and reproductive organs as well. In addition, this type of plant has a vascular system. Seeds of this type can be enclosed or naked. There are two sub-classifications: Gymnosperms that produce naked seeds. They represent about 650 types of living plants. This type has a vascular system but does not have vessels. In Gymnosperms, there is no formation of fruits. The other type is angiosperms in which seeds are enclosed, not naked. Its seeds are formed inside the tissue of the plant to produce the fruit. Therefore, it is referred to as flowering plants. Angiosperms have a well-differentiated vascular system which consists of xylem and phloem. I’ve been almost afraid to confess that it happens to me,” he tells her. “I thought it would be an insult to being here.” Native flora includes plants growing in a region by instinct or by themselves without being planted by humans. Mabey’s mother signed his paperwork for Oxford University. At 18, in 1959, he applied for biochemistry, unaware of what the degree involved but seduced by the grandeur and scope of the “bio” part. He switched to politics, philosophy and economics, the degree of the modern Westminster politician, after writing a letter to the department on 16 sides of Basildon Bond. He attended the lectures of Isaiah Berlin (“3,000 people crammed in the theatre. He’d direct his words to the top right of the crowd”) and had moral philosophy tutorials under Iris Murdoch, “who was very relaxed and more interested in talking about CND [the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament]”.

Dandelions are also famous for being used to make wine and as a coffee substitute. Mabey once described himself as an epiphyte: an organism that grows and feeds on the surface of another. Upon his release from St Andrew’s, he and his sister cleared the family home. They could not get any local charities to take the furniture, so they burned it in the garden. At that point, instead of going “to a kind of halfway house” he went to stay with childhood friends in Blakeney in Norfolk. As he recovered, they introduced him to a friend called Polly Lavender who’d grown up with a close-knit family on the Norfolk Broads. She had an unusual vivacity and a love of nature that matched his. She also has four children, and grandchildren; Mabey says he never wanted any of his own.

Dandelions have always been loved by many people for their beauty as well as usefulness, and are mentioned in many stories.A Brimstone Butterfly – often the first on the wing in spring – seeks out life-giving nectar from a Dandelion flower. (Picture courtesy of Rachel Scopes, @r_scopes)

It turns to face the sun throughout the day, which can help you tell the time. In his ability to look very hard, and very closely, at the natural world, Mabey has something in common with Andrew Marvell, whose retreat to a Yorkshire country house after the execution of Charles I produced two years of startling nature poetry. Marvell derives terrific energy from the act of looking, in the knowledge he will never truly be one with his surroundings. There is more at work in his poems than solace, or escape. As a young man Mabey was inspired by JA Baker’s The Peregrine (1967), a dazzling study of the bird written from a place of personal obsession, and by Kenneth Allsop’s columns in the Sunday Times. But the “new nature writing” – that bestselling form with its intense first-person narrations – would probably not exist without him. I am most exhilarated when I can see lives going on which are irrespective of my presence. How can we think clearly about this thing we call nature, in its fullness? Learn to live with all the different ways in which it presents itself? If that springs from a kind of depressive feeling, it actually produces different perspectives on how we categorise the world.”Tropical Rainforest Plant List, Information, Pictures and Facts. Wild.
