Kent Botany 2019 makes mention that Frog Rush (Juncus ranarius) has been found in the West Paddock of the Crossness Nature Reserve. We will be going during mid/late-July to look: so as to avoid disturbing Ground Nesting Birds.
A Grid Reference of: TQ 4939 8048 has been provided.
It's a first Record for Vice County 16 (West Kent).
Additionally, we will look out for Borrer's Saltmarsh-Grass (Puccinellia fasciculata) which is also mentioned in Kent Botany 2019.
Also the aquatic Mare's-Tail (Hippuris vulgaris) which we saw during a 2018' Walk.
Marsh Yellow-Cress (Rorippa palustris), Blue-Water Speedwell (Veronica anagallis-aquatica) and Lesser Sea-Spurry (Spergularia marina) are all identified as growing in the West Paddock.
And perhaps we might find Marsh Cudweed (Gnaphalium uliginosum) and Trifid Bur-Marigold (Bidens tripartita): both of which we have recorded in the small, often flooded area, in the Norman Road Field.
