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.

Lagurus ovatus - Hare's-tail



Hare' s-tail has been found at a number of coastal locations including Par (SX05R, 1909, R.V.Tellam), Polperro (SX25A, c.1900, F.H.Perrycoste) and on the Isles of Scilly at Tresco (SV81X, 1903, F.T.Richards) and St. Mary's (SV91, before 1980, B.M.Sturdy). It has also been seen on the Lizard Peninsula a number of times, the last record being from Porthoustock beach (SW82A, 1980s, University of Bristol Lizard Project) where it was a casual.
