Plants specific to the conditions of this SSSI

The wet, low nutrient conditions of this SSSI support a wide range of herb species. Although these are not rare within the UK, are all uncommon and very restricted to this type of habitat.

Plants to be found here include heath spotted orchid, devil's-bit scabious, bog asphodel, lousewort and two insectivorous plants; round-leaved sundew and pale butterwort.

Cotton Grass and Heath Spotted Orchid.

Southern Marsh Orchid

Round -Leaved Sundew - it has round leaves with an edge of spines as it is an insectivorous plant.
