4 more species

A while back I made a circuit to the west of the town.

The meadows to the south of the town have been mown, and there's not much to be seen. However common fleabane (Pulicaria dysenterica) is growing by a fishing pool with the meadows.

To the west of the town a hop (Humulus lupulus) can be found. (I had suspected this before, but the presence of flowers and fruit allows me to confirm this.)

Lucerne (Medicago sativa) was found growing along a roadside.

Additional plants present at the landfill site are wild angelica (Angelica sylvestris), common hemp nettle (Galeopsis tetrahit), bristly oxtounge (Picris echioides).

A field scabious (Knautia arvensis) was found along the old railway running across the town.
