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.

Vulpia bromoides - Barren Fescue



Squirreltail Fescue is widespread and, because it may be easily overlooked, it could be in many of its old localities. It grows in open, well-drained soils on dunes, grassy slopes, around rock outcrops, on tracks through heath, on road verges, and walls and on coastal slopes. It is also common on the Isles of Scilly.
