| | | Plants at Land's End
I took these photos on 11th July 2008 as I walked amongst the rocks on the cliff tops at Land's End. I think the 3rd and 4th plant may be the same species. I'd appreciate any IDs.
Thanks, John.     |

Not sure about the second but I think 1) is pellitory of the wall (parietaria judaica, sometimes called parietaria diffusa) and 3) and 4) are sea beet (beta vulgaris) |

I agree with the above. Number 2 could be Sea Aster but I'm not very sure. |

Gromwell does not have fleshy leaves.
