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.

Vicia lutea - Yellow-vetch



i> Vicia lutea is almost entirely restricted to the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, where it may have been under-recorded in recent years. This Nationally Scarce plant occurs in turf by the coastal footpath, on steep banks of serpentine in a disused quarry and in scrub on the coast.
