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.

Euphorbia paralias - Sea Spurge



Sea Spurge is frequent on unfixed dunes and sandy foreshores along the north coast of Cornwall, but is rare on the south, except on the storm beach of Lantic Bay where it is abundant. Very recently it has been refound on the foreshore at Par (SX05W, 1998, I.J.Bennallick).
