Indeed, Rue-leaved Saxifrage Saxifraga tridactylata - one of my favourite early spring flowers, it was out in late February in Bristol. |

Have you been checking every dogs mercury to try and scrounge an additional species | The easiest way is habit and habitat. Dog's Mercury is a perennial and forms large patches in shady places. Annual Mercury is an annual and occurs as individual plants on disturbed ground (especially my garden  ) |
