Red Helleborine (Cephalanthera rubra) is a plant in the orchid family.
[edit] Status in Britain
Red Helleborine is a very rare plant in Britain. It is found only at the following sites:
- Workman's Wood, Sheepscombe, Gloucestershire
- Hawkley Warren, Hampshire
- Windsor Hill SSSI, a woodland just to the east of Princes Risborough in the Chilterns, Buckinghamshire
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the species was recorded from single sites in Somerset, Sussex and Kent, and a second Hampshire site (in the upper Test Valley). The species was also recorded at additional Gloucestershire sites (including Stanley Wood, King's Stanley, now a Woodland Trust woodland), and persisted at some of these into the 1970s.
