  • Trinia Glauca
    Crouch, H.J. (date accessed). Somerset Rare Plant Register account: Trinia glauca. Somerset Rare Plants Group, www.somersetrareplantsgroup.org.uk [Last amended 08-03-2021] Trinia glauca (L.) Dumort. Honewort Native GB & England: Least Concern GB Rare VC5 Absent; VC6 Scarce A dioecious monocarpic perennial herb of dry, limestone, usually south-facing sites with sparse vegetation or short turf. First recorded in Somerset by Dillenius in about 1726, at Uphill (White, 1912): still present at several locations there, in the enclosed quarry and on rock outcrops and steep slopes nearby, also on adjacent Walborough. Noted by Watson (1835) at Uphill and at Whorle-hill. Seen regularly at Worle Hill and recorded at two locations in 1987, mapped by Green et al. (2000), but now feared lost from that site. North of Weston-super- Mare, Trinia glauca was found by T.F. Perkins on Sand Point in 1876 (White, 1912) and is still frequent on the south-facing rocky slopes. In 1849 it was collected on rocky slopes under Leigh Woods, in the Avon Gorge (White, 1912); although it occurs on St Vincent’s Rock on the Bristol side of the Avon, where indeed it was first recorded for Britain in 1562, there have been no further records on the Somerset side. On the north side of the Mendips this species was recorded on rocks at Hutton Combe in 1874, re-found at Elborough Hill by R.B.G. Roe, but last seen there in 1988 by Robert Cropper. Recorded by W.B. Waterfall at Sidcot and Winscombe (White, 1912) but not seen there subsequently (although “Winscombe” may have referred to sites on the ridge to the south).
