The last stop on our Spring botanical tour was at L'Ancresse Common where we had seen so many special plants in June of 2004. We hoped to find the odd stem of this native Guernsey endemic emerging from its sheath and were delighted to find that it was actually at its best. The plant itself is small and the stems lie almost horizontally amongst the rest of the grasses in the short turf of the common. It rarely reaches higher than a centimetre or two above the ground: Mibora minima which grows nearby, towers over it.
