Cruciata laevipes Opiz. Crosswort National Status: Not scarce, not threatened County Status: Scarce (4 sites, 4 tetrads) Site Grid Reference Last Record Fenstanton TL318670 2009 (NM) Houghton Meadows SSSI, Far Close TL293717 2004 (TW) Paxton Pits TL195630 2005 (RE) Overcote, Pike and Eel TL360704 2004 (BM) A species of old grassland that was never common in Huntingdonshire. Cuscuta epithymum (L.) L. Dodder National Status: Vulnerable County Status: Rare (1 site, 1 tetrad) Site Grid Reference Last Record Great Stukeley Railway Cutting SSSI, Unit 3 26 TL23477565 2010 (TC) Known at this site since 1973. The national range of this species is now much contracted and this is one of the few remaining populations outside southern England. Cuscuta europaea L. Greater Dodder National Status: Nationally Scarce, not threatened County Status: Rare (3 sites, 4 tetrads) Site Grid Reference Last Record Holt Island Nature Reserve TL310715 2011 (BM) Holywell-cum-Needingworth, Meadow Lane Gravel Pits TL325702 1999 (BM & JM) Paxton Pits TL195630 2005 (RE) River Ouse, Hemingford Grey TL319701 1997 (BM) St Ives Meadow TL321699 1998 (BM & JM) This species is widespread, but rare, along the course of the River Great Ouse. It is a rootless annual parasite which upon germination attaches itself to a primary host, typically Common Nettle (Urtica dioica), from which point it is then able to exploit a wide range of secondary hosts. It always grows in damp nitrophilous conditions where the primary host occurs in abundance (Stewart et al. 1994).
Cynoglossum officinale L. Houndstongue National Status: Near Threatened County Status: Rare (3 sites, 4 tetrads) Site Grid Reference Last Record Ferry Meadows Country Park (CP) TL143972 2009 (DB) Church End, Five Arches Bridge TL20358305 2011 (DB) Conington ‘Dump’ TL202832 27 TL201840 2009 (SL) 2009 (SL) Paxton Pits TL19586245 2010 (DB) This is typically a species of disturbed ground, including old quarries and gravel pits and railway embankments (Wells, 2003). It has probably suffered in Huntingdonshire, and elsewhere, as a result of efforts to ‘tidy-up’ such habitats. Cyperus longus L. Galingale National Status: Nationally Scarce, Near Threatened County Status: Rare (3 sites, 3 tetrads) Site Grid Reference Last Record Huntingdon bypass, near TL2471 1995 (TB) St Ives, ditch on NE side Marley Road TL314734 2005 (NM) Somersham, The Lake TL366781 (centroid) 1996 (TB) This species is not native in Huntingdonshire and the above populations are most likely derived from a garden throw-out. Cytisus scoparius (L.) Link ssp. scoparius Broom National Status: Not scarce, not threatened County Status: Rare (1 site, 1 tetrad) Site Grid Reference Last Record Orton Pits SSSI TL162940 2009 (NC) Wells (2003) did not consider this species native in Huntingdonshire despite records going back to 1846. While it is undoubtedly associated with anthropogenic habitats this is not in itself sufficient to reach such a conclusion and I am aware of no evidence to demonstrate that it did not colonise the County under its own steam. On this basis, there is currently no evidence to indicate that it is no less worthy of conservation than any of our other native plant species.
