Unidentified Plants

Am I correct with Fools Watercress for this one



This one I have no idea

[jhewitt15]

your probably right about the fwc.

I think the second one is black medick or lesser trefoil

[leifus]

i agree with jhewitt but xan someone tell me how to tell the difference between black medick and lesser trefoil please?

[mrs fish]

To tell them apart the Black Medick has a sharp point at the tip of each leaflet (not easy to see with one of my pics) and the fruits dry differently, the Medicks flowers fall off to reveal black seed pods.

Another bad pic here


Some leaves look pointed ?

I will have a good look to-morrow and try to get a better pic

Thanks for the possible ID

Three plants that look very similar
Hop Trefoil
Lesser Trefoil
Black Medick

[leifus]

i find hop trefoil easy but i think yours is lesser trefoil. thanks for the info

[JennyS]

Have you got any more photos of your first plant, as thats an odd-looking leaf for Fool's Water-cress?

[mrs fish]

This not very good one



As you can see it is growing out of the water.

It is not far from here so could get another pic if needed and I forgot to-day to check the medick/trefoil

I think you are correct Leifus with Lesser Trefoil ?
