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.

Scabiosa columbaria - Small Scabious



Small Scabious is a plant of calcareous grassland which has yet to be properly confirmed as being present in Cornwall. The most recent record was from a hedge by the jetties at Fowey in 1994 (SX15G, M.R.Matthews).
