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.

Callitriche platycarpa - Various-leaved Water-starwort



Records for C. platycarpa have to be treated with caution as recent studies have revealed problems in identification. The distribution of C. platycarpa in Cornwall is therefore imperfectly understood and further material, with fruit, needs to be collected.
