The Greater Yellow-Rattle grows in humid grasslands which are moderately rich in nutrients, living a semi-parasitic life by feeding off the roots of nearby grasses. It can be found in the roughs near 5 ^th Hole, but also around the 2 ^nd and 3 ^rd Holes. The plant owes its name to the seeds which rattle inside the seed capsule when the plant gets moved by the wind. In Flanders, the greater yellow-rattle is not often seen outside nature reserves.
