Rare yellow whitlowgrass plant saved on Gower Peninsula

Yellow whitlowgrass has been under threat from non-native plants, say experts

A rare flower which only grows on the Gower Peninsula has been saved after nearly being wiped out.

Environmental charity Plantlife worked to remove the invasive shrub cotoneaster to allow yellow whitlowgrass to flourish.

It said it had cleared nearly 10 hectares (25 acres) of the shrub at Foxhole.

Plantlife is working to save species such as juniper, basil-thyme and chough on land owned by the National Trust.
