Plants recorded at Minet
The following list contains all the higher plants and ferns that are
currently found growing wild in the Minet Country Park and the adjacent areas,
or which have been recorded since 1999 and may still be present at low
densities. Some species, such as Ragged Robin (Lychnis flos-cuculi),
which were recorded in the 1980's on surveys carried out by the London Ecology
Unit, and which have not been seen since then, are not included. It is likely
that this list will continue to be added to for many years as management and
habitat creation benefit both newly colonising species and plants already
present in low numbers.
