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.

Larix decidua - European Larch



The majority of European Larch records are from plantations. It has become naturalised in a few places and on occasion has been noted as self-sown (Margetts & Spurgin, 1991). It can be found in Carthamartha Woods (SX37U), the Glynn Valley (SX16S), Nanstallon (SX06I) and Helligan Wood (SX07Q).
