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.

Rumex sanguineus var. viridis



Although this is the common form of Wood Dock few people ascribe their Wood Dock records to this variety. Hence the distribution of records gives a false impression about the status of this plant.
