LEICESTERSHIRE (v.c.55) Shacklewell Hollow (SSSI) † In the 1960s a small colony was recorded in species-rich limestone grassland (CG5a) on a shallow SW-facing slope. Three plants were re-discovered at this site in 1992 when the grassland was very rank due to the lack of grazing. However, the population was subsequently destroyed when the farmer dumped rubble over the area (D. Isaac, pers. comm.). MID-WEST YORKSHIRE (v.c.64) Ledsham (SSSI) In 1984 a single plant was discovered in heavily grazed limestone grassland (CG4a) on a SEfacing limestone bank. For many years flower heads were grazed-off and so cages were placed around the plant to protect it from rabbits. In 1997 the plant was hand-pollinated with pollen collected (the same day) from Barnack Hills and Holes but the plant failed to set seed due to predation by slugs. As a result pollen from the Ledsham plant (male parent) was used to crosspollinate five plants from Barnack (site 4) but without success (A. Headley, pers. comm.). A single Barnack plant was then translocated to within 4 metres of the Ledsham plant in order to encourage pollination but disappeared within a couple of years. 48
