Ranscombe Farm has been an important botanic site for hundreds of years. The first UK records of two Nationally Rare species, meadow clary and rough mallow, were both from Ranscombe Farm, dating from 1699 and 1792 respectively. Both species still survive in the same spot. At least six species of orchid have also been recorded including fly, lady ('Fair Maidens of Kent') and man orchid.
