Species Details

Procumbent Yellow-sorrel is an established annual or short-lived perennial of gardens, paths, walls and wasteland. This recent addition to our flora grows occasionally throughout the eastern and southern parts of Derbyshire from Hathersage (SK2381) and Whitwell village (SK5276) in the north, to Croxall (SK1913) and Netherseal (SK2812) in the south. Although widespread in the warmer parts of the world, its native range is unclear.
