| | | Re: Confirm id please 1. Sea Pea - Lathyrus japonicus. The Suffolk coast has always been its stronghold.
2. Sea Campion - Silene uniflora.
3. Greater Sea Spurrey - Spergularia media.
4. Stonecrop - Sedum sp. This is a strange plant with its tiny flowers and large star-like sepals. It's most likely White Stonecrop - S. album, but it reminds me of the old flowers on Sedum acre. Would like to see it in 'the flesh' to be sure. Nearly 30 sedum's have been found wild in Britain.

| | | Re: Confirm id please I reckon the spurry is lesser sea-spurry as the petals look shorter than sepals and looks hairy.
Edit: Flowers don't look pink enough for my suggestion. Confused with the hairs though...

| | | Re: Confirm id please I've decided 4. looks like English Stonecrop - Sedum album.
Yes John, your right on 3. Lesser Sea Spurrey.
At first glance the flowers are typical Greater colourwise.
Lesser flowers are usuall much more pink.
The deciding factor is always the length of the fruit stalks. In Greater they are equal or shorter than the fruit, in Lesser they are longer than the fruit. Sepal/petal length can often be misleading
So Lesser it is. (teach me to look closer next time).

| | | Re: Confirm id please Lesser sea spurrey gathering inland also, here is one I took on a village roadside in Northamptonshire (you can't get more inland) about 2 months ago, I noted also how less hairy and rather fleshy this is than the OP's subject, so I guess that can't be useful in identification either (this is stated in some books).
