Species Details

Bristly Oxtongue is a casual annual or biennial of waste and disturbed ground. Most of the occasional records are for eastern Derbyshire {Sheepbridge Tip SK3674; Trent Meadows SK5032, Linton SK2614}. Previously this species was anciently established in the more central parts of the county, however, it appears to have died out in the 1980s but subsequently reappearing in the late 1990s, and now continues to increase.
