Wood Melick (Melica uniflora) is a native perennial grass, "common in woods and shady places throughout Britain, though rare in the north of Scotland and Ireland." [Phillips. Grasses, Ferns, Mosses & Lichens. Pan, 1980]. "In some woods it is very abundant, and in May it will be found nodding gracefully beside the primroses and bluebells … The delicacy of its stems and flowers is particularly pleasing …" [The Observer's Book of British Grasses, Sedges & Rushes. No date]. Hobbs Hole Lane is an unclassified county road between Yarningale Common and Holywell.
