In addition to common species such as Dog's mercury (Mercurialis perennis), Primrose (Primula vulgaris), Bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta), Wood Anemone (Anemone nemorosa), Wood sorrel (Oxalis acetosella) and Ramsons (Allium ursinum), a number of scarce species are present.
The eastern section between Moorside Road and Downderry Road existed in 1805, and it has a number of species indicative of ancient woodland, such as wood anemone and dog's mercury.
The upper edges of the reserve were not quarried and the area supports ancient woodland flowers such as Wood Anemone, Wood Sorrel, Primrose, Sweet Woodruff, Greater Butterfly-orchid, Herb Paris and Bluebell.
The banks are home to a variety of flowers including; Primroses (Primula vulgaris), Common Bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta, sometimes Endymion non-scriptus or Scilla non-scripta), Wood anemone (Anemone nemorosa), Violets and Campion.
Its flora is typical of ancient woodland and Common Bluebell and Wood Anemone are two of the more common species to be found in the wood; Greater Butterfly-orchid, Violet Helleborine and Crested Cow-wheat are amongst rarer plants found.
The ground flora includes a number of species normally found only in ancient woodland such as Woodruff (Galium odoratum) and Wood Anemone (Anemone nemorosa).
The Trust will also establish and maintain an annual coppice management programme, which will benefit the nationally rare heath fritillary and white admiral butterflies, and many other species, including bluebell, wood anemone, long-eared owl, yellow necked wood mouse and dormouse.
Another name is wood anemone, but this more commonly refers to the European A. nemorosa or the North American A. quinquefolia.
Spring-flowering plants that occur on the site include the bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta), common primrose (Primula vulgaris), lesser celandine (Ranunculus ficaria), ramsons (Allium ursinum) and wood anemone (Anemone nemorosa).
Plants in the reserve include Mercurialis perennis (dog's mercury), Anemone nemorosa (wood anemone), plants in the genus Neottia (formerly known as Listera, commonly known as twayblades), Paris quadrifolia (True-lover's Knot or Herb Paris), Hyacinthoides non-scripta (formerly Endymion non-scriptus or Scilla non-scripta, Common Bluebell or Bluebell) and St John’s wort (Tipton's weed, chase-devil, or Klamath weed).
In the New Forest in England, P. longifolia shares its habitat with wild daffodil (Narcissus pseudonarcissus), bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta), wood-sorrel (Oxalis acetosella), bastard balm (Melittis melissophyllum), wood anemone (Anemone nemorosa), columbine (Aquilegia vulgaris).
