Can anyone identify this small green flower that was growing in a hedgerow here in Berkshire yesterday. I'm not sure if the leaves shown are part of it or not. The flowers were about 1cm across.

Yes, Bryonia dioica and where you find that you may find Epilachna argus, the bryony ladybird. Image:Coccinelle des melons Epilachna argus-1.jpg - Wikimedia Commons
This is a fairly recent addition to the British fauna and, so far, white bryony has been its only food source. Well worth looking out for - so far only seen in Surrey and Middlesex but should be spreading along the Thames valley .... . Quote:

I suppose it's worth noting that it is poisonous in all parts of the plant .... | | | |
