Description: | Twinflower is a rare species in this country. It is a creeping plant that prefers damp and shady areas. It is found growing in ancient Scots Pine woods and at a few other sites in the Scottish highlands. It was once more widespread but has disappeared from much of its original range. This is thought to be due to overgrazing by livestock and the disturbance caused by intensive forestry. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | North East plants natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
