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.

Geranium pyrenaicum - Hedgerow Crane's-bill



Hedgerow Crane' s-bill is most common in south east Cornwall, around Newquay and between Penzance and Marazion. Elsewhere it is more sporadic in occurrence. It grows on hedgebanks, on Council tips, by stony tracks and along old railways. It is absent from the Isles of Scilly.
