No.1 is Common Toadflax -Linaria vulgaris
2. Yellow Loosestrife - Lysimachia vulgaris
3. Goatsbeard - Tragopogon pratensis
4. Evening primrose - Oenethera biennis
5. Self-heal - Prunella vulgaris
8. Sulphur clover - trifolium ochroleucon
9. Field scabious - Knautia arvensis
10. Agrimony - Agrimonia eupatoria
Still looking for the others!

I agree with Hedera on most, but a couple of changes.

1. Common Toadflax - Linaria vulgaris
2. Dotted Loosestrife - Lysimachia punctata. (the garden escapee').
3. Goatsbeard - Tragopogon pratensis.
4. Evening primrose - Oenethera biennis.
5. Self-heal - Prunella vulgaris.
6. Navelwort - Umbilicus rupestris. (Old flower-heads).
7. Rock Sea-spurrey - Spergularia rupicola.
8. Probably Hop Trefoil - Trifolium campestre, yet to develop it's distinctive shaped flowers.
(Sulphur Clover is one of our rarities and only found in the Fenlands of East Anglia, it has large, spikey, very pale lemon-yellow flowers, and is not, unfortunately, found in Cornwall.)
9. Field scabious - Knautia arvensis.
10.Agrimony - Agrimonia eupatoria.

i agree with all of these, but could 8) possibly be black medick with big leaves? The leaves are apiculate (the little point on the end)....

[the naturelover]

Hi I have looked up black medick in my book the flower appears identical
but the leaves are shown serated. So I think I will stick with hop trefoil.
Thanks for the input though.

Yes, this was a tricky one. I don't think the leaves are typical of either species, and I wondered if it could be one of these many alien species now being introduced in foreign seed mixes often 'sprayed' onto new road embankments. But felt Hop Trefoil was as close as I could get. Though you have a valid point.
