Whole plant lacks chlorophyll and is entirely parasitic on the roots of Hawkweed Oxtongue Picris hieracioides. Found in calcareous grassland and on sea cliffs. FLOWERS are 15-20mm long, the corolla pinkish yellow with purple veins, tubular with smoothly curved dorsal surface, and 2-lipped; filmaents are hairy at base.

  • SMALL HARE’S-EAR Bupleurum baldense (Height to 2cm) is a tiny, atypical umbellifer, the tiny flower umbels shrouded by pointed green bracts (Jun-Jul); the leaves are narrow and strap-like. The plant grows dangerously near the cliff edge at Beachy Head in Sussex, with additional outposts in S Devon and the Channel Islands. However, it is hard to believe that such a small and insignificant plant has not been overlooked elsewhere.
    131317.jpg

Juvenile (piglet) is reddish brown with longitudinal white stripes. Foraging animals grunt while feeding; barking call uttered in alarm. Wild Boar were driven to extinction in 17th Century. Recently, re-introduced animals and escapees from captivity have formed feral populations, mainly in Sussex and Kent; favours wooded farmland
