The chilterns are just south of london right??
Thank's for the tip
, incidentaly i was just thinking about a day trip, i was looking into Butser hill just to the north of me. Looking at records on the National Biodiversity Network i see that Belladonna is quite a common species of the southdown's and also several records of it being found on Butser - albiet 17 years ago
Maybe if im lucky there might be a little henbane aswel.
The strangest place i have seen belladonna growing was on the platform of a seaside train station - the station was less then half mile from beach.
Bishopstone train station
