Below is a link to a useful video: Learn about some of the wild plants that can be found in a Rhos pasture on Dartmoor, with botanist Hannah Gibbons. Rhos pastures are a mosaic of wet meadows, bogs, heaths, woodland and scrub. The marshy grassland areas can be very species-rich, characterised by purple moor-grass and rush, plus many distinctive plants such as Bog pimpernel, Round-leaved sundew, Bog asphodel, Common cotton-grass and Devil’s-bit scabious. Devil’s-bit scabious is the sole food plant for the caterpillar of the rare Marsh Fritillary butterfly.
