1441 Shore dock Rumex rupestris
This small site supports the largest known extant population of shore dock Rumex rupestris in Devon, and one of the largest concentrations of this species on rocky sea-cliffs in south-west England. In 1999 there were five discrete colonies totalling at least 29 plants, including one large ‘clump’ (7 x 4 metres) which could have been made up of several individual plants.
