Re: eyebrights

Hi Ian,

If it helps, Euphrasia pseudokerneri grows at the same spot on the Devil's Dyke as Spotted Catsear (Hypochaeris maculata) and other goodies.

However, it hybridises with E. nemorosa, with hybrids probably being more numerous than pure E. pseudokerneri along the Dyke. Hybrids come into flower earlier.

I think I shall revise my PowerPoint so that it acts as a self-standing identification guide, though I shall wait for a while as Clive Stace is busy on the 3rd edition of his New Flora of the British Isles and there is a good chance that we will harmonise on nomenclature.

Alan
