Hello, This small plant was discovered on 16 August 2005 amongst the short herbs and Horseshoe Vetch on the lower slopes of Mill Hill, Old Shoreham. ...
Hello, Addenda At the risk of being embarrassed with failing to identify a common plant because it is in an incongruous location, I still cannot think what it...

Hi Andy No it isn't Autumn Gentian, it is a labiate, I suspect a late flowering, hard growing (almost de rigeur on bare chalk slopes), white Ground Ivy. I...
Thanks John I think you are right. It was on the top of my list, but I appreciate confirmation. I double-checked the leaves texture from other photographs ...
Hard to be sure, but it doesn't look much like Ground Ivy to me - the leaves look too hoary and the habit just doesn't look quite right. My money would go on...
Hello Martin, Thanks for the alternative suggestion. Notes: Ground Ivy occurs and is prevalent on the chalk downs lower slopes of Mill Hill and is prevalent...
Hello, The file has been uploaded now http://www.glaucus.org.uk/Flora385.htm The sepals seem to indicate Ground Ivy. It is just the colour of the flowers and...

You're all wrong, this is Stachys annua, not a native plant but one which occurs casually from time to time. There was one last year on a chalk slope where...
Forget that... it was a BAADDD suggestion. I don't know what I was thinking of. Nepeta cataria has a much shorter corolla tube than that. - Martin ... slopes...
Rodney, having blown my credibility with the Nepeta suggestion, I'm still going to be rash enough to take you up on this one. Surely Stachys annua has narrowly...
I think this is the best suggestion yet. As far as I can see it has the characteristic calyx shape of Clinopodium (=Calamintha) - two long teeth in one lip at...
Hello, This is typical of the ID problems with close species. Wild Basil (must be favourite?) is in the same family (or quite close?) as the Catmints so the ID...
Stachys annua seems to be turning up quite a lot in the last couple of years - warmer summers perhaps? Eric Clement had no post 1970 records for it in Surrey...
Hello, Has anybody got a photograph of Stachys annua, Annual Yellow-woundwort, please? It looks a bit like a Stachys in my book which does not have this...
