Currently 123 species have been recorded in the meadow. Thanks go to Dave Wood (the County BSBI recorder) for his observations and also to Ken Jackson the reserve manager for a decade prior to 2006 who made detailed observations of the plants, fungi and grasses.

Plants come and go and a record is attempted of what species are recorded on an annual basis though this is not always possible.

For a full list of flora recorded in the 1km square that includes the northern part of the meadow and the Lings Lane area see SK6129

Or, for a list of plants recorded in the tetrad (2km x 2km) square that covers most of Keyworth, see SK63A
