Genista tinctoria
There is a high component of herb species throughout the meadows including Saw-wort ("Serratuta tinctoria"), Dyer’s Greenweed ("Genista tinctoria"), Common Knapweed, Pepper-saxifrage ("Silaum silaus"), Devil’s-bit Scabious ("Succisa pratensis"), Betony ("Stachys officinalis") and Spiny Restharrow ("Ononis spinosa"). The calcareous nature of the soil is reflected by the presence of Cowslip ("Primula veris"), Fairy Flax ("Linum catharticum"), Glaucous Sedge ("Carex flacca"), Lady’s Bedstraw ("Galium verum") and occasional Salad Burnet ("Sanguisorba minor").
