Carex canescens L. - White Sedge


        This map has been generated by Mapmate 03/02/2012

Rare. Healthy but vulnerable populations of this species occur along peaty ditch banks at Clifton Moss (SD7603, DP Earl, 2003). Also recorded further to the west on Clifton Moss (SD7503, Bolton Field Naturalists, 1988).

There is a voucher specimen for Chat Moss (SJ79C, C Bailey, 1874, MANCH) where the last record traced was made by P Yates 1901 but it is plausible that plants may still occur in the Chat Moss area.
