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.

Papaver atlanticum - Altas Poppy



Atlas Poppy was discovered growing on a wall in 1971 at Trevalga, Tintagel (SX08Z, M.Watts) and on an earth and stone gatepost at St. Minver in 1997 (SW97T, M.Atkinson).
