Plants and Wildflower for ID

[jdoherty]

All of these pics were taken in N.Ireland.

I think the first may be an Ox-eye Daisy and the second Butterbur but not sure of the species as the leaves seem much more coarse than other butterbur pics I've taken. The third was growing in the grounds of Shane's Castle Estate, Antrim. It was very big. You may notice near the top middle of the photo some sycamore keys on the ground. This may give some idea of scale. The last pic was taken in a wooded area alongside the Three Mile Water river in Newtownabbey.

I'd appreciate some help with confirmation or IDs.

Thanks, John.

3 - some kind of burdock

[badgerwatcher]

I think it's burdock. And the fourth looks like a hypericum of some kind, or St.John's Wort.

[Gill Catton]

I think number 2 is gunnera - a non native favoured in stately homes etc

[leifus]

1 ox-eye daisy
2 as gill said some sort of gunnera sp.
3 burdock sp.
4 st. john's-wort

[treecreeper]

I think the bottom one is tutsan, hypericum androsaemum

Agree with the Hypericum being Tutsan.

[KeenTeen17]

I would say tutsan as well the fleshy leaves give it away.

the gunnera could be giant rhubarb I think its called

[badgerwatcher]

Oh yes, Gunnera. I couldn't remember the name. Very invasive of water systems, isn't it? Spectacular though.

[jdoherty]

I found this other photo taken on the same day. Perhaps it may confirm that it is Gunnera.
