    Are there any examples of plant species found only here and, say, in the far limits of our migrant birds’ travels, e.g. Siberia? Peter Shute ________________________________________ Sent: Tuesday, 17 June 2014 10:11 AM There are a couple of species of plants that are found in Greenland / Arctic Canada and a few sites in North Scotland, presumably brought to the latter as seeds on the feet or in the stomachs of migrating geese.
