Plant species of the Forêt de Boulogne (France)
In 1999 we had the chance of
paying a visit to the Forêt de Boulogne twice: both in springtime
and in late summer. It is always nice to combine the recordings of
plant species in two different seasons into one list. After all, a
one-time-visit to a certain location will not show you all the
species that are present. We visited the Forêt de Boulogne on 23 May
and 9 August. The combined visits resulted in a list of 151 wild
plant species in the Forêt (Google Map).
