| Hare's-tail growing abundantly on the dunes at Port Eynon (SS469851) 4th June 2007 |
Charles' recent discovery of Annual Beard-grass
Polypogon monspeliensis near Crynant reminded me of my encounter with the superficially similar Hare's-tail
Lagurus ovatus at Port Eynon back in 2007. The species was growing in abundance through one section of dunes with many thousands of plants, and although I've been back to the site in more recent times (casual visits rather than dedicated searches) I've failed to find it since. The Crynant Annual Beard-grass and the Port Eynon Hare's-tail are the only records we have of these attractive casuals in West Glamorgan.
