In Glamorgan (v.c. 41) in 2023, six excursions of the Glamorgan Botany Group were held from April to September, with a special celebratory visit to Port Eynon in May (pictured) to mark the 10th anniversary of the group.
Highlights from these excursions included: a completely new site for Paris quadrifolia (Herb Paris) in Cefn Mabley Woods (ST2284) in April; a strong colony of Viola lactea (Pale Dog Violet) at Overton Mere (SS4684) in May; good quantities of Euphrasia officinalis subsp. pratensis (Rostkov’s Eyebright) at Cwmbach (SO0301) in August; and Mentha × piperita (Peppermint) at Ty’n-y-Garn (SS8982) in September.
