Species Details

(Locally extinct) Kelso Water-crowfoot was a very rare native perennial of slow flowing watercourses. It has only ever been recorded once from our area, for Brailsford Brook (SK23) in 1888. The lack of records since probably reflects the fact that people have not recorded the plant rather than a true change in its occurrence.

This plant is in Category 6 of the local Red Data List, 2009.
