One I’ve wanted to see for a while - White Horehound (Marrubium vulgare). A scarce native in the south it’s a tomentose plant with 10 distinctive hooked calyx teeth 🤍💚 @BSBIbotany #BrauntonBurrows #WildFlowers @DABotany

What does wildlife conservation mean to you? Is it protecting people, species, biodiversity or something else?

Had a great time delivering a lichen event last month for the #ExmouthTreeProject in Phaer Park. Here, we recorded two IUCN red listed species in this urban parkland, Parmelina carporrhizans (top) on ash & Physcia tribacioides (bottom) on copper beech. Who would have thought it!

The absolute stunner that is Alyxoria (Opegrapha) subelevata (IUCN Endangered) growing on the strikingly red sandstone cliffs along the Teign Estuary (#Devon). At this site, the black squiggly, densely pruinose fruits can only be accessed at low tide. Thanks for the intro Nicola!

With most of the Warren a parched golden yellow the #Coastalplants are still providing some colour. Sea Holly, Rock Samphire (& Black Mining Bee Andrena pilipes), Wild Carrot (with Kiefferia pericarpilcola galls) and from 2021 a rayless Sea Aster var. flosculosus #WildflowerHour

The Warren may be small compared to other sand dune systems but still has a wide variety of special species to showcase #WorldSandDuneDay during #WildflowerHour Hound’s-tongue on the fixed, Sea Spurge on the embryo, Sea Bindweed on the mobile & Marsh Helleborine from the slacks.

Very excited that @LouisaCasson & I have found rare Hazel Gloves fungus growing on both hazels & blackthorns at Orley Common in Devon! Big thanks @BotanyCornwall for suggesting looking for it here - it’s thriving. A rainforest indicator, this is the furthest east I’ve seen it.
