Polypogon arrives in Aberystwyth

Polypogon viridis has arrived in Aberystwyth. An established colony (c. 50 plants) is growing on a paved area adjacent to the Alexandra Road / Rheidol Retail Park roundabout (SN58608167). Given the size of the colony I presume that it actually arrived last year so may already have been noted by other recorders. It also occurs at the University's Fron Goch farm where it currently grows only inside one of the abandoned glasshouses (SN60618259).
