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.

Medicago sativa nothosubsp. varia - Sand Lucerne



Formerly recorded as M. x varia Martyn, Sand Lucerne has been known from a particular wall in Gulval since 1935, where it still persists (SW43V). Elsewhere it has been of casual occurrence.
