 The woodland supports a particularly high diversity of vascular plants, including populations of the nationally rare plant Purple Gromwell "(Lithospermum purpurocaeruleum)" and the scarce Angular Solomon’s seal "(Polygonatum odoratum)".Large areas of King’s Wood were replanted during the 1960s with beech Fagus sylvatica and a variety of conifer species including Douglas fir "(Pseudotsuga menziesii)", Lawson’s cypress "(Chamaecyparis lawsoniana)" and Norway spruce "(Picea abies)" .These crop trees have, however, largely been unsuccessful and the replanted areas are now being overtaken by hardwoods.
