Hi, New to the group, I have posted three veiws of a (presumed) Euphorbia in the "Identication needed" directory of Files section of UKBotany. The plant was on...
Nick, I wouldn’t like to have to identify this properly on the evidence presented, but as it’s a plant just coming into flower so late in the year I would...
Welcome, Nick Unfortunately without a bit more detail (such as how big the plant is, what its habit is, etc., I can't help you on this one - plus I'm not very...
Rodney, Sorry not to have included anything about the size and habit. The plant was distinctly straggling, with stems up to about 40cm. I have uploaded ...
Yes, Nick, This does still look more like E. peplus than anything else. Perhaps the late season affected the plant’s growth. By the way, you refer to the...
I have posted two views of a Rumex in the "Identication needed" directory of Files section of UKBotany. The plant was in sandy ground by the sea on Bryher,...
Nick, I think this might be considered a candidate for the great rarity Rumex rupestris, which has been recorded from Bryher. The leaves look right, but the...
Hi Rodney, Thanks for your reply: I have spent some time looking for rupestris over the last three years on Tresco and Gugh, known sites in the past, without...
Hi Nick - I don't know what the R. crispus x rupestris would look like either, but I'm pretty confident that this plant is not R. crispus (neither the leaves...
Hi Charles, I have replaced image DSCN4647 on the "Identification needed" directory of the Files section of UKBotany with a close up of the lower part of the...
Dear Nick Have a look at this web site which gives pictures of the fruit http://www.guernsey.net/~cdavid/botany/files/rumex%20rupestris/index.html Best wishes ...
Hi Charles, Thanks for the link: the young fruit pictured on your website seem quite similar in structure to those on the Bryher plant (link below) ...
Last summer we had discussions on the rust on Alder on both UKBotany and Fungi-BritishIsles. Turns out there are two species involved: Melampsoridium betulinum...
Thanks, Malcolm - I will look for this next year (didn't notice any obvious rusts on alders here in Yorks this year). Happy New Year to all. Gill ... ...

A date has been fixed for planting a tree at Ness Gardens in memory of Vera Gordon, long-standing BSBI member and secretary of the Liverpool Botanical Society...
The National Biodiversity Network (NBN) Trust is planning to develop and deliver a series of training events for the biological recording community over the...
I've struggled to find any matches for the plant shown as below, which has been in flower for the past two weeks in a hedgerow at Malshanger Park, west of...
Yes, I'd agree with that - though this plant is a lot bigger and bushier than any I've ever seen in the wild. That and the habitat "in a hedgerow" lead me to...
The hedgerow is along a footpath between two arable fields on an estate with semi-ancient woodland on the edge of the North Wessex Downs and therefore the soil...
Helleborus foetidus (Stinking Hellebore) for sure. I don't think this is a species that's much hybridised. You will find it in Rose. Tony Mundell (the BSBI...
There is a form that has reddish stems to the inflorescence and that is definitely cultivated. Other than that I don't think there's much to go on. I have seen...
