Symphytum X uplandicum

Russian Comfrey All Comfrey plants encountered have been assigned to this hybrid, more critical work is needed.

Anchusa arvensis

Bugloss This plant was only ever found growing on sandy, imported soil, usually on newly created borders. It was always associated with Amsynckia micrantha and various other plants typical of light soils.

Pentaglottis sempervirens

Green Alkanet A garden escape growing in an Avenues area rear-access road.

Amsinckia micrantha

Common Fiddleneck Often very abundant on imported light soils. May persist for many years in these flower beds and shrubberies. Usually part of a very characteristic assemblage.

Myosotis scorpioides

Water Forget-me-not Often in great profusion along the margins of the Barmston and the Holderness Drains.

Myosotis laxa

Tufted Forget-me-not Found at a single locality in an almost dry land drain on the south of Bude Road. The smaller dark blue flowers and more deeply-cut calyx distinguish it from M. scorpioides

Myosotis arvensis

Field Forget-me-not Scattered, ofted as an arable and garden weed or in short grass.

Myosotis ramosissima

Early Forget-me-not Single locality - St Andrew's Quay. This is a rather unusual record and will need confirmation. The plants were growing with other rather unusual species (Ornithopus perpusillus & Trifolium arvense) giving more credibility to the record!

Myosotis sp.

Forget-me-not Non-flowering material, probably M. arvensis, need confirmation.
