FLORA OF MAYO

Flora

County Mayo’s wide range of habitats has a wealth of botanical interest. In the spring, the roadside hedgerows are covered in banks of Primrose, look closely and you will find Violets too. More open road verges are often covered in a meadow of tall Ox-eyed daisies. A number of species occur in Mayo including the Maidenhair fern, Irish heath, and St. Dabeoc’s heath.
