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.

Agrostis gigantea - Black Bent



Black Bent is usually found in arable fields standing proud of the corn, often as isolated individuals. It is more frequent in East Cornwall and is rare on the Isles of Scilly.
