John Lowell for the South Lancashire 'snapshot flora' 1995-2005.
Distribution: Most frequent in the east as a feature of the bramble flora of the mill
town valleys.
Habitat: Mainly a colonist of waste ground, abandoned ground, railway banks and
along lanes near cottages and occasionally invading heath and moorland scrub.
Comments: Neophyte, an escape from allotments and gardens, several forms appear
to be escaping from cultivation.
