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.

Anisantha sterilis - Barren Brome



Barren Brome is very common on Cornish Hedges and along shaded roadsides, but rare on the granite areas such as Carnmenellis and Bodmin Moor. In West Penwith, however, it is found throughout the southern, milder, parts of that granite area. It is also common on the Isles of Scilly.
