THE PLANTS IN FRITHELSTOCK CHURCHYARD

a report by W.H. Tucker
recorder for North Devon, Botanical Society of the British Isles

In my survey I found 81 species of flowering plants and 6 of ferns. The most interesting plant is probably the Rosy Garlic (Allium roseum), while Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum) and Triangular-stalked garlic (Allium triquetrum) are somewhat unusual. In addition to these there is a fine display of the commoner plants of the area, including:
