Species Details
This hybrid between Wild Pansy (XXV. tricolor) and Field Pansy (XXV. arvensis) is a very rare native plant of cultivated and waste ground. There are only three local records all from Clapham (1969): Ednaston (SK2342), Hulland (SK2546) and above Bradley Wood (SK2046). It is probably under-recorded.
