Small stand (15 X 4 m) of Eleocharis macrostachya with watercress below, in standing water. This comprises a section of a larger drainage in an old pasture. Now the site is a park and only used for recreation. The surrounding pasture was once grazed and is now covered in star thistle. The Eleocharis is blooming now but the phenology in adjacent wetland stands is still too early for sampling.
