Alchemilla vulgaris L. agg., Lady's-mantle

Account Summary

Native.

1882; Stewart, S.A.; Co Fermanagh.

Most of the Fermanagh Alchemilla records have been ascribed to one of the three species that follow, and this species aggregate is simply a 'bin' for the 15 unassigned records which remain, three of which are very old 'end-of-the' 19th century records. The habitats include roadsides, banks and a scree; the scattered stations cover the area of Lower Lough Erne and the ground to the west of it, across a total of twelve tetrads.
