Dune-slacks.
Taxon Designation:
Species of Conservation Importance in North West England; Flowering Plants &
Ferns Ff4(a); Lancashire BAP Provisional Long List.
Comments:
Thought to be lost from the dune-slacks between Formby and Southport due to subsequent
colonisation by Salix repens and Hippophae rhamnoides. Plants
would have been lost from North Liverpool locations due to urbanisation.
