There are a few alien Hieraciums dotted about ( H. speluncarum is another one that's meant to be in the same area) and I must admit I hadn't realised there were any native species that also had spotted leaves. I'll have to go back and have another look; maybe see if I can get some better photos when they flower to confirm it one way or another... |
I think most of the spotted species are aliens although some are native mountain plants.
I remember looking for
H. speluncarum at Mells a number of years ago - I think I found it.
