A few Arctic-Alpine species have subspecies in the British Isles, some have been in the islands since the last Ice Age, but many spread in the immediate Sub-Arctic conditions as the ice retreated. Furthermore, these species were later reinforced by newer arrivals as the climate assumed temperatures and conditions more similar to the present day.
Crepis foetida, stinking hawksbeard (died out across the British Isles in 1980) (reintroduced) [5] [6] Matthiola sinuata is extinct in Scotland and possibly Ireland and rare or absent in the rest of the British Isles.

Each atlas presents 10 km 2 distribution maps for the species within its scope. Maps typically use different symbols to signify records from differing time-periods - solid symbols for 10-km squares (hectads) that have recent records, and unfilled symbols for 10-km squares for which only older records exist, according to a defined cut-off date.
