During early-May, we became aware of a single Plant which is now flowering beside the Footpath that runs from Church Manorway to the Thames Path (Grid Reference TQ 50765 79637 or thereabouts) viz.
Shortly afterwards, we came across a population of Plants numbering in the 100's in the Crayford Rough area (Grid Reference TQ 51081 74497 or thereabouts) *; although not flowering when seen viz.
Some of the Plants may be glimpsed in the following picture (close to the stones, boulders &c.) although the majority are growing slightly out of the picture:
And today we came across a few Plants flowering beside the Footpath that runs up from Norman Road North to the Thames Path (Grid Reference TQ 49727 80519 or thereabouts) viz.
We will be reporting the 2016 records to the Kent Botanical Recording Group (KBRG).
* We understand that a nearby area and part of the Crayford Rough area will probably be built on. Although it is our understanding that planning permission has not yet been granted we have to assume it will go ahead. Hopefully the population of Yellow Vetchling will not be destroyed.
