Common Gromwell |
Plantae Eu-dicots (True dicotyledons) Boraginales |
| Lithospermum officinale | |
| Family: Boraginaceae | |
| Homefield Wood, Buckinghamshire. View location Alex Bennett says "The old English name for this herb is Grummel. I found this in Sheridan's Dictionary of 1745." Dave White comments: "I just wondered if you realise what an unusual specimen you have photographed? One of the Common Gromwell flowers appears to have 6 petals and 6 anthers. Also these are unusually large flowers, the examples growing in Queensdown Warren have flowers no more than 4mm across." (I hadn't spotted the unusual flower at all !) |
