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.

Symphytum grandiflorum - Creeping Comfrey



A rare introduction that is most often recorded on road verges and banks, Creeping Comfrey has become naturalised at a number of locations, such as near Penjerrick (SW73V, 1982, R.J.Murphy), near Heligan Gardens (SX04D, 1992, G.C.Matthews), at Ruthernbridge (SX06D, 1990, R.E.Lees) and at Bossiney (SX08U, 1979, B.N.Boothby).
