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.

Sambucus nigra var. aurea - Golden Elder



Since 1980 one tree was discovered in an old quarry between Bridge and Portreath (SW64S, L.J.Margetts). The small quarries beside the old tramway have been long abandoned and this plant was most likely not planted.
