  • Monmouthshire (VC35) Rare Plant Register
    Monmouthshire (VC35) Rare Plant Register April 2019 Steph Tyler Elsa Wood Monmouthshire County Rare Plant Register Stephanie J. Tyler Elsa Wood Text editing Barbara Brown April 2019 Cover: Orobanche minor – Common Broomrape or Gorfanhadlen. Image: Elsa Wood Monmouthshire Rare Plant Register 2019 MONMOUTHSHIRE VICE-COUNTY 35 RARE PLANT REGISTER This edition updates the first Rare Plant Register produced by Trevor Evans (Evans 2007). Some additional species have been included whereas others have been removed. The reasons for these changes are given below. Rare and Scarce species In the RPR by Evans (2007) there are several species which have since been found to be more widespread in vc35 than previously thought. These, Ranunculus lingua Greater Spearwort ( widely planted), Iris foetidissima Stinking Iris, Echium vulgare Viper’s Bugloss, Chrysosplenium alternifolium Alternate-leaved Golden Saxifrage, Crepis biennis Rough Hawk’s-beard, Myriophyllum spicatum Spiked Water-milfoil , Samolus valerandi Brookweed, Frangula alnus Alder Buckthorn, Poa angustifolia Narrow-leaved Meadow-grass, Puccinellia distans Reflexed Saltmarsh Grass and Populus nigra ssp.betulifolia Black Poplar are no longer included in this revised RPR as occur at more than 10 sites. Moreover, Anacamptis pryamidalis Pyramidal Orchid occurs at almost 40 sites. The revised RPR recognises locally rare species, both Natives and Archaeophyes, as those that are found in up to three sites in VC35 and locally scarce species which occur in up to 10 sites. Several have been moved from locally rare to locally scarce e.g. Anthemis cotula. Species such as Littorella uniflora Shoreweed with 11 records are therefore not included. Some other species, whilst being recorded at more than 10 sites, are considered under threat in a GB or Welsh context and therefore these have been included in this Register.

What were the factors that led to one of the Landscape Architect’, Thomas Mawson, writing about his work in leading garden designers of his day being commissioned to design 1907, made the following observation on a commission in South a garden in the middle of this industrial area? Wales: Maesruddud was the home of the Williams family and, in “A very difficult but not entirely unsuccessful piece of work was order to begin to understand how the garden developed, we need the garden at Maesruddud, which stood in the centre of a to tale a look at the history of the family itself. They do not appear rapidly growing colliery area not far from Newport, to have been a ‘grand’ family, although Maesruddud at the Monmouthshire. The very thought of collieries seems beginning of the nineteenth century was a prosperous farm, with incompatible with gardens, but my client, Mr T. Brewer Williams, was himself a colliery proprietor, who considered it his duty to live in the neighbourhood and in the old family home with all its disadvantages, which were intensified by an elevated windswept site resting upon a poor clay soil. The original house, which possessed no architectural interest, was much enlarged and invested with a definite architectural character by my client’s architect, Mr Edward Warren. The plan of this garden, which is a fair criterion of my ideal of the nature and extent of a garden at this time, is illustrated in ‘The Art and Craft of Garden Making’.
