A plant of woodlands and hedgebanks that
is easily overlooked when not in flower and is thus probably more frequent in
the Salford Borough than indicated by the associated distribution map. Plants
can be seen along the wooded railway line at Monton Green (SJ7699). Regarded
as "a characteristic plant of the Kersal Moor neighbourhood" (SD8102,
Melvill 1882). It is likely that this species still occurs in the woodlands
at Clifton (SD7703, C Bailey, 1863, MANCH). The recent record from the Bury
district is from Philips Park (SD7903).
MANCH is the museum abbreviation code for The Manchester Museum.
