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.

Puccinellia distans - Reflexed Saltmarsh-grass



A rare saltmarsh-grass in Cornwall which is found mainly on the higher zones of the salt-marsh. However, there are some records for sites other than salt-marshes, such as an artificial sandy bank on the beach at Gwithian (SW54Q, 1980, R.J.Murphy).
