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.

Allium vineale - Crow Garlic



Wild Onion is common and widespread in south east Cornwall and in the lower lying areas within a broad triangle marked by Penzance (SW43), Helston (SW62) and Newquay (SW86). Elsewhere it is more sporadic. It is noticeable that the frequency of this plant varies greatly from year to year. Wild Onion is rare on the Isles of Scilly.
