Question
Hi, Would you be able to id this flower for me, found in the Middlesex Fells? I couldn't find it in the simple key. Thank you!
Answer
Flora, you have photographed Nabalus trifoliolatus (three-leaved rattlesnake-root). This is a wild plant (a relatively of lettuce) that occurs from sea level up to our highest mountains. Its lower leaves are often (but not always) divided into three leaflets (hence its common name).
