Review (by Malcolm Storey)

Reviews the plant, its status, ecology and distribution of this rare plant. Previously found in northern England (vc 64-66) and Wales, within our area it is now almost confined to Scotland and Ireland.

Includes a useful table on p24 for separating M. sylvaticum and M. prarense.
