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.

Trifolium micranthum - Slender Trefoil

Slender Trefoil is most often encountered along the coast growing on cliffs, often by coastal paths, on grassy slopes and in dunes. It may also be seen in closely-mown lawns and on golf courses. Inland it may be found in open, stony or sandy, situations and in old unimproved pasture. It is rare on the Isles of Scilly.
