Images taken on the riverbank at Tory Brook, Plympton, Plymouth, Devon, 23.09.06; and at other locations across the county. Species also found in large quantities at the north end of Drift Reservoir, near Sancreed, Penzance, Cornwall.

The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the flora of the region and help

people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but a few species may only be determined by observing microscopic differences that are characteristic to any one species.
