Both Downy + Brilliant Emeralds occur on the canal, though you should see these at Thursley too, the former is easy (if weather ok) on Moat Pond + the latter often on the stream.
Basingtoke Canal is good for aquatic plants as well as being a lovely walk. Brookwood Cemetery has some interesting plants (native + alien) + I've seen Green Hairstreak + Brilliant Emerald there.
