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.

Erica erigena - Irish Heath



Irish Heath has been found as a short-lived introduction on the Isles of Scilly (SV81, 1929, R.Meinertzhagen) and by a road two miles to the south east of Menheniot in 1958 (SX26V, D.McClintock).
