Posted by Peter Llewellyn on 5/1/2006, 11:55 am, in reply to "Re: Field trip" Next, Mr David Thomas led a meeting in Essex on July 20th. They had beautiful sunny weather and the 14 people attending spent a long and energetic day, finishing at 6.30pm. Their first port of call was Stanford Warren where Cotula coronopifolia was the most notable record: then they visited some sand quarries which gave Consolida ambigua and Verbascum virgatum; and the morning was completed by finding Trifolium ochroleucon, late in the season and perhaps past its best but none the less a lovely local find. The afternoon and early evening were spent in visits to Fobbing � Lactuca saligna, Tilbury � Bupleurum tenuissimum, Torilis nodosa, and Gray�s Chalk pit, a place full of interesting and spectacular plants including the speciality Pyrola rotundifolia ssp rotundifolia. Mr. Thomas comments that it was a most enjoyable day, with lots of good plants to see, which sounds like, if anything, an understatement. What a rich and varied area for plant-hunting that stretch of north Essex is. I hope that helps but I can copy the page and email it to you, but not today.
