another plant for id

[dunlin]

two pictures of same plant. sorry about the poor photograph.
I found this extremely fine climber today. It was growing on a hill side that leads up onto the moors, so the soil should be acidic. It was climbing over ferns and bracken. The plant is very fine and delicate the flowers are only
2mm at most, the leaves i would say are a similar size. It was climbing over low lying vegetation by use of tendrils like pea plants.
The tendrils where very fine like a thick piece of hair.
I have never scene this plant before. I was stood under a tree sheltering from the rain and had been stood there for ten minutes before noticing the plant so i would say it could easily be overlooked

Also the white flowers had very fine lines in the mouth of the flower. I fetched a small piece home in order to take a better photo but it had completely shrivelled up when i got it home.

the leaves are very tender like cress.

the only similar thing i can find in the book is copse bindweed but im not certain.
can anyone help id it please

Looks like it might be a climbing corydalis to me Mark, (Ceratocapnos claviculata) - but I could be wrong.

Thanks lancashire lad and gypsy orchid. Im still learning flower id's i use the wild flower key by francis rose, but find it quite difficult to follow.
spot on with your id's both of you .
The book says its an ancient woodland indicator and quite common which i found supprising, i dont recall seeing it before.

Thanks once again i dont know how i would go on if it wasnt for the knowledgeable members on wab

regards mark

Thanks for the compliment Mark, but I'm certainly no expert.
Like yourself, I still rely quite heavily on books etc. to get ID confirmation on everything but the more common plants.

Could be a good idea for a new thread - the ID books people find most useful.

Regards
Mike.
