Aria arvonicola
Aria arvonicola, called the Menai Strait whitebeam or Cerddin Menai, is a whitebeam species in the rose family. It is native to a restricted area along the shore of the Menai Strait in North Wales. The species was first described by Peter Sell in 2014 and has been assessed by the IUCN as critically endangered.
Aria arvonicola is found preferentially growing in areas with limestone bedrock along the southern shore of Menai Strait most often in open woodland or high woodlands habitats. The native range along the strait is restricted to a 10 m (33 ft) wide strip along the shore encompassing no more than 0.1 km2 (24.7 acres). Some individual plants grow along the beach line, with roots exposed to the air or growing down into the beach shingle and immersed in saltwater during high tides.
