Leycesteria formosa Wallich - Himalayan Honeysuckle


        This map has been generated by Mapmate 27/01/2012

First observed in the woodland to the north of Worsley Vicarage (SD7400 & SD7401, 1991). Additional plants has since been found about the canal basin at Worsley (A Locksley, 2007 & DP Earl, 2012) and at Roe Green (DP Earl & P Bowdler, 2009). There are also records from along the railway line west of Salford Central Station (SJ8298, 2001) and at Ellenbrook (SD7201, 2002).

This species is clearly bird-sown and with time will become more widespread.
