[edit] Euphrasia

I have deleted the Euphrasia entry as there are probably some 20 spp in the British Isles of which c. 8 may well be endemic, many in western Scotland. Many are also local or even rare. However, rarity by itself does not make them endagered - the specieas may have always been rare because it occupies a specialised ecological niche. If there is a reliable citation to support the entry then please restore but at a species level and with a valid reference. Velela 09:23, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

They were listed on the Biodiversity Steering Group's report of December 1995. It is rather an odd entry, but I've re-added it for the moment, as otherwise we would have all but one of their entries. Warofdreams talk 15:50, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
