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.

Centaurea solstitialis - Yellow Star-thistle



Yellow Star-thistle is a rare casual and has not been seen since 1974 when it was found at Tehidy, near Camborne (SW64L, J.S.Rees). It may no longer be a member of the Cornish Flora.
