Juncus effusus
The pastureland is dominated by soft rush ("Juncus effusus") and tufted hair-grass ("Deschampsia cespitosa"). Locally uncommon plants include meadow rue ("Thalictrum flavum"), brown sedge ("Carex disticha"), water violet ("Hottonia palustris"), whorl-grass ("Catabrosa aquatica") and the carnivorous bladderwort ("Utricularia australis"). Five specimens of black poplar ("Populus nigra" ssp. "betulifolia") grow on site; this tree, uncommon in the UK, is near the northwestern limit of its range.
