Answer 4

The Royal Horticultural Society lists nearly 90 native tree species

http://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/plant_group...

The isles have many native trees that are common to Europe as well as Britain however there are some that are endemic. They are found only in the British Isles. Mostly these are species of Whitebeam (Sorbus) with 14 species found in small, regional populations. Plus there is one endemic Elm species (Ulmus plotii) called Plot's Elm found only in England & Wales. The rest may be found native to Britain and parts of Europe.

British Natural History Museum lists the same native &/or endemic species as the RHS but tells you which is endemic http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/life/...
