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.

Dactylorhiza incarnata subsp. coccinea



This endemic orchid was known from Gwithian Common (SW54V) before 1980. This site has been surveyed in detail since and it was not refound. There is an unconfirmed record from mine waste at Tresavean, near Lanner in 1991 (SW73J, P.Abrutat).
