| Re: Dune Helleborine Hi,
I went there last year to photograph mine. I can say that they are the inland form of the Dune helleborine, nicknamed the 'Tyne' Helleborine. Genetic research into these plants has proved they are not genetically separate enough to constitute a distinct species but also they are not Narrow-lipped helleborine, they just happen to look like them, the habitat and distribution is completely different anyway.
Just a final note, please don't disclose site names as in this thread, I know its annoying but I've had my hand slapped in the past about it and it's probably best to not mention them, certainly not in photographic form.
Thanks,
Mike
