Hi I have an iris in my pond, yellowed leaved, not sure of actual name. Caterpillar-like creatures are on the foliage, gnawing out large areas of leaf. Good...
Peter Many thanks for your interest and for uploading the photo. The whole thing looks much more robust than my plant does so I am sticking with Pignut at the...
Hi all, Phil, ripe fruit it is then. Doesn't look quite right for Pignut either, inflorescence still too blobby and too white, and also too late in the year....
Hello all, A quick update on tis species in a UK context; as you may well be aware, there are three extant sites; the Midlands, South and Chilterns. For the...

Thanks for the suggestions Darrel. Pretty certainly not Bunium or Seseli as the site is non-calcareous and both plants appear to be much too robust. I have...
Phil, I have to say your photos look awfully like Oenanthe pimpinelloides. BUT - you said the stems were hollow, and they are solid in this species. You can...
Martin Thanks for your comment. I have uploaded a further photo of the plant into my folder which shows the umbel side-on. You can't see the sepals, but they...
Hi all, I'd agree with Martin, from the photo I still can't make it anything other than Oenanthe pimpinelloides. cheers Darrel (in Bath) ... plant into my...
Phil, Another point about pignut is that as the rootstock is well below soil surface level, it does not have a rosette of basal leaves, just the first stem...
I am getting a second in-situ opinion - will let you know what he thinks in due course. Thanks for all your interest, much appreciated. Phil L ... From: Darrel...
Not sure this got out. Apologies if it did! Phil ... From: Phil Luke To: UKBotany@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 08, 2006 12:56 PM Subject: Re:...
I have posted a photo of three whitebeam leaves from a plant found in a Berwickshire hedgerow to the group photo area. It had been trimmed along with the rest...
... Centaury, Centaurium erythraea. Native ... Clearly a Hosta, perhaps sieboldiana but more likely a cultivar. Almost certainly planted ... Snapdragon,...
Thank you Malcolm Stu and Martin Re Plants Yep very much engineered in a pondscape!! Here is a few more from the same ramble including two shrubs and a ...
Thanks for the comment Rodney. The basal leaf is as shown in the photo 'mystery 2', quite different from the stem leaves which start simple as in 'mystery umb...
Hi all,, Having been up to Holy Island at the weekend and seen an excellent display of Epipactis sancta (about 30 plants, some quite tall, in perfect condition...

Hi all, Colin, I think you're posting these on the wrong group. However, my guesses would be: Hypericum androsaemum, (might be H. x inodorum), Primula...
Hi all, Sean, this only one I can find (& then only the abstract), might be worth emailing the author? cheers Darrel (in Bath) "Genetic variation in three...
Hi Darrel Phew !! In the confines admittedly of Shibden Hall Calderdale so the Botany has a garners touch !! Nevertheless one of these stumped me , clearly not...
Hi all, Colin, its because I worked as a nurseryman for a while after I graduated (Botany), I also worked as a "brickies mate", and as a "tarmacker", so I'm...
Quite honestly, Sean, I think you would find that after looking at the Eruopean literature on Epipactis, which is vast and often not in English, you would be...
