	Action plan for Linnaea borealis

		The main habitat of twinflower is native pine woodland which is listed as a priority habitat in Annex 1 of the EU Habitats Directive 1992.
		Ensure that where twinflower is located in plantation forests, consideration is given to modifying the management of the surrounding area to ensure the survival of the population.

	PlantWatch
		While twinflower leaves are similar to those of bearberry, they can be differentiated by the presence of the notch and the fact that the leaves emerge in pairs.
		Twinflowers have tiny (9-16 mm) pink, bell-shaped flowers that occur in pairs on Y-shaped stalks.
		Twinflower grows in forested areas, meadows and near lakes and rivers.

		Twinflower’s leaves measure one to three centimeters long, are short-stalked, and marked by a few shallow teeth at their tips.
		Twinflower fruit emerges as a sticky nutlet with hooked bristles: a perfect parcel for grabbing hold of birds and mammals.
		This expansive geographical range is called circumpolar”; or “circumboreal.” Twinflower’s aptly chosen species-name, borealis, means “northern” or “of the north,” which in turn descends from Boreas, the Greek god of the north wind.

		American twinflower is distributed from interior Alaska across Canada to Newfoundland and south to northern Arizona and New Mexico, South Dakota, Indiana, West Virginia, and New Jersey [28,35,41].
		Twinflower has a shallow, fibrous network of roots with their growing points within and slightly below the duff layer [56].
		Twinflower seed attaches to the fur, hides, or feathers of animals, which serve as dispersal agents.

		Plantlife also commissioned a study looking at why Twinflower is less common today than in the past and to study the influence of past management of pinewoods on the occurence of Twinflower.
		In 2001, an area of woodland with large Twinflower populations was used in a felling experiment designed to study at how different densities of tree felling and extraction techniques impact on this plant.
		This was to be expected because of the high levels of disturbance the patches were put under (although all twinflower patches were carefully avoided during the felling and extraction operations) and the dramatic changes in light levels.

		The twinflower grows on soft moss in dark spruce forests.
		It is one of the most loved plants in Sweden and a popular decoration on porcelain, tablecloths and paintings.
		The twinflower was Linnaeus' favourite plant and he really wanted it to be named Linnaea, but botanists never named plants after themselves so he needed help by someone who could name it after him.

		Plantlife also commissioned a study looking at why Twinflower is less common today that in the past and to analyse changes in extraction techniques and their effects on Twinflower.
		We expect to see an initial increase in Twinflower however, this initial increase may slow as ling and other shrubs also react to the light and compete.
		This would have maintained a range of light and humidity levels, created bare patches of ground for twinflower to establish new plants and dragged fragments of stem form one area to another where they could establish.

	PlantNative - How To - Example of a Naturescape-Conventional Plan
		In the present design, we have selected salal, creeping Oregon grape and sword fern as shrubs because they are low to the ground, creating a separation between the trees and the shrubs, and they are evergreen (which is apparently desired in conventional landscaping).
		The smaller plants include a mix of strawberry (coastal or wood) and twinflower, which both may exhibit ground cover like tendencies and are also evergreen.
		Other smaller plants and wild flowers could be added amongst the strawberry and twinflower to add color and varied texture/structure.

		Small Cow-wheat is a nationally scarce plant, recorded only on a small number of sites across the country.
		Newton Field Station, Forest Research Ecology Division and Plantlife have instigated a new trial to test whether is it possible to assist the vegetative spread of Twinflower (Linnaea borealis) by skidder extraction of timber within a Scots pine forest.
		Twinflower is classified as a nationally scarce plant, which has suffered a 64% decline from pre-1970 records.

	Twinflower Flower Essence for the Search for the God-Self
		A flower essence, made 7 January, 1999, from some Twinflower plants in the back-yard of the house at Buchanan Street, Wadestown, Wellington.
		This is one of the many flower essences that I made during those hectic days of the summer of 1998-99.
		Because they were made on the same day, and because they are very similar in their definitions, I often get this Twinflower essence confused with the Pelargonium essence.
