Smile Re: Eyebrights....!

Thank you again Alan, your time and id's for these is really appreciated!

And (inevitably!) a couple of questions......

1. When looking at and comparing leaves for identification should they be fairly low on the plant, and is there much/any difference in the appearance of the leaves, bracts, hairs as the plants age?
2. Are the large flowered species more likely to hybridise, and are 'pure' forms much less frequent than hybrids? (Maybe I should go look for some smaller-flowered ones instead!)

Hope your Euphrasia expeditions are going well.....
Thanks again
Jenny
