Summary[edit]

Description
English: Bog Asphodel in Carrifran Glen A common and characteristic plant of wet places on acid moorland. The second part of its latin name [Narthecium ossifragum] translates as 'bone breaker', and relates to the fact that it was thought that grazing it caused sheep bones to be brittle; in fact it is the acid, calcium-deficient pastures in the habitats where it grows that are the problem.
