Most of the species are actually listed in this thread:

Thankfully I've safely got Salix repens now - it's one of those plants that I've seen quite a lot of times while out birding in the north, but doesn't occur that often in the south-west where I'm based.

I've never been to Sefton Dunes, though, and those helleborines sound very tempting I've decided that'll be my strategy for hunting down native species this summer - look for orchids, on the basis that at the sites where they grow, there's usually lots of other things to see
