Flora of Cornwall (1999)

The descriptive text, below the map, is from the Flora of Cornwall (1999), which was a Tetrad Atlas (the maps had 2km square dots or Tetrads). The map on this web page depicts the plant's distribution at the 1km square scale and shows the records made pre-2000 which were used in the 1999 Flora and those made since.

Dactylis glomerata - Cock's-foot



One of the most common and widespread grasses of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, growing in unimproved pasture fields, on waste ground, along road verges, in gardens, on hedges and in maritime grassland along the coast. Cock' s-foot is noticeably missing from much of Bodmin Moor.
