Species Details

Night-flowering Catchfly is a very rare casual annual of arable land. The sole recent record comes from north of Harratt Grange (SK08V). Previously it was more frequent in the same habitat but it appears to have been lost locally, as it has been nationally, by agricultural intensification (Preston Xxet al. 2002). It is a native of the British Isles.
