A plant never before observed in the Nordics has been found in southern Sweden for the first time this autumn.
Hundreds of examples of the brightly coloured blackstonia perfoliata, or yellow-wort, were found in a secluded part of the Limhamn nature reserve close to Malmö.
Further yellow-worts were observed in a smaller area north of the limestone quarry by a fence, where visitors can see the special plant. The plant, which can grow to 50 centimetres tall, is native to the Mediterranean region, and it is not clear how the plant found its way to Sweden.
