.Cressing. A single plant was discovered in mown grassland near the Cressing
Temple Barns in 1996 by Roy Martin, and it has reappeared each year since.
TL(51)57 18 .Millwood House Pit. A single plant was found in long grass to the west of the pit

TQ(51)67 18 .South Stifford, Chalk Farm Pit, where 5 plants were found in a scrubbed over
grassy area in 1980 by Fred Rumsey, (2 plants in 1983 Steven Prewer). (This site
was totally destroyed when the pit was infilled during construction of the
Chafford Hundred complex).
.Grays Chalk Pit N.R. It was first found here in 1972 by Bernard Ward, when it
occurred all over the floor of the pit. Many plants were destroyed when chalk was
dumped in the central area in the 1960s, and subsequently as the pit scrubbed
over. A colony of around 25 plants in the south of the pit was destroyed by
Wimpey's Housing development, Badgers Dene. Since the 1980s very few plants
have been found on the scrubbed over pit floor, but some 175 plants have
occurred in sites nearby the pit.
