Drosera rotundifolia
The area adjacent to Hisehope Burn is predominantly a soligenous mire, with a sparse tree cover of downy birch, "Betula pubescens", and alder, "Alnus glutinosa"; the mire is rich in sedges, "Carex spp" and bryophytes and contains several species that are localised in County Durham, including few-flowered spike rush, "Eleocharis quinqueflora", grass-of-Parnassus, "Parnassia palustris", sundew, "Drosera rotundifolia", and lesser clubmoss, "Selaginella selaginoides".
