Brooklime Veronica beccabunga

Currently 192 species have been recorded in the meadow. Thanks go to Dave Wood (the Joint County BSBI recorder) for his observations and also to Ken Jackson the reserve manager for a decade prior to 2006. Many additional species have been added and the list is maintained by Neil Pinder.

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
