Plant lovers may find alpine pennycress, Smith's pepperwort, whorled water millfoil, and the rare dune helleborine.
For this reason, Merseyside Bio Bank, an environmental records office, is co-ordinating a survey of the dune helleborine and another type of orchid, the green-flowered helleborine, which is also of conservation importance.
It was thought to belong to the dune helleborine group but the new findings mean it can now be classified as a species in its own right.
