Arabis scabra, the Bristol rockcress, is a perennial flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae, native to the Bristol region, including the Avon Gorge.[2] It grows in shallow soils, scree and rocky ledges.[2] It has been introduced to other locations in England, with populations usually being short-lived, with the exception of Combwich, where it can still be found.[2]
