Abstract
SynopsisBetula nana L., the dwarf birch, is shrub-like in habit. Today it has a relict distribution in the north of Britain. In the Early Post Glacial period, it was widespread throughout Britain. This paper reviews the present understanding of the species in our flora and describes aspects of its morphology, palaeoecology, current distribution, habitat and hybridizaton with the arborescent birches.
