Not recorded since 1950 but seen last week by Ray Woods at the edges of a Swede field.
Small-flowered Catchfly, Gludlys amryliw, Silene gallica
So the history in the county goes: “Pen y lan, near Brecon” by Miss Bird in 1809, J A Wade (NMW), no date given but between 1930 and 1950 and now this. The species is in decline in the country - as an arable weed but this finding suggests there may be a long-lived seed bank.
