| Re: eyebrights
Hi Alan
Sorry been away for a few days and only just back online. Anyway I think that you have already solved the issue for me when you say that E. nemorosa is in flower right now. I took my photos a fortnight ago and can be pretty confident that they are this species. I will get them on here so you can take a look though.
The name 'chalk eyebright' came from a Natural England document about the Devils Dyke in Cambridgeshire. This site is supposed to hold a population of this species (Euphrasia pseudokerneri) hence my original quest for eyebright details. Luckily Peter knew of your presentation which I have downloaded. Thanks! Very interesting presentation and some great shots of these flowers. None of my own flower books contained any details of these plants. Even Rose only mentions that other species exist so it is great to have your document now!
Cheers
