Map[edit]

Don't suppose you know where to find a non-copyright distribution map? Plantsurfer (talk) 21:17, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately not. If you know of a copyrighted one I believe you can re-make it into one of the wikipedia-type maps so long as it is referenced. DJLayton4 (talk) 01:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

changed status[edit]

To provide more detail, this species is reintroduced, and current BSBI distribution maps show recent sightings in Maidstone, Glastonbury and Carmarthen, so I don't think we can consider it extinct in the wild any more.Regularuk (talk) 15:11, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

in that case the citation is no longer appropriate, since that states it is extinct in the wild. Plantsurfer 15:15, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
