| | | Leaves and Centaury IDs Any ideas on these leaves. They were found next to a river estuary where lots of Sea Milkwort and Wild Celery was growing - is it just the basal leaves of Celery? 
Is there any way to ID between Common and Seaside Centaury. I was under the impression that Seaside had a larger flower and parallel leaves. |

| | | Re: Leaves and Centaury IDs On the second, Rose's Wild flower Key (revised edition) says the key differences are:
Common centaury:
Stem leaves oval-elliptical
Calyx less than three quarters of the length of the corolla tube
Flowers in dense, forking cymes, not umbel-like
Seaside centaury:
Stem leaves parallel sided, strap shaped, blunt
Calyx more than three quarters of the length of the corolla tube
Flowers in dense, terminal, umbel-like clusters |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
