Bewick and Beanley Moors in association with old collapsing heather bushes. Conifer plantations aside, the moors have little woodland cover; what exists is found on the boundaries and following the paths of streams at lower elevations. Spwecies include alder ("Alnus glutinosa"), hawthorn ("Crataegus monogyna"), brown birch ("Betula pubescens"), rowan ("Sorbus aucuparia") and occasional ash ("Fraxinus excelsior"), and ground-cover of yellow pimpernel ("Lysimachia nemorum"), wood sorrel ("Oxalis acetosella") and smooth-stalked sedge ("Carex laevigata").

Other wood species found include
Sorbitol an enema. Sorbitol works as a laxative by drawing water into the large intestine, stimulating bowel movements.

It is also found in the fruits of apples, plums, pears, cherries, dates, peaches and apricots. Sorbitol is used in bacterial culture media to distinguish the pathogenic from most other
