Image:Epipactis helleborine herbarium specimen from Cobham Park, VC16 West Kent in 1891 by Dr Gustavus A Ornano St Brody.
fruits/flowers:mature flowers
notes:There are two places named Cobham Park. One in Surrey and the other in North Kent. Cobham Park, Kent is in the Gravesham District and apparently includes two SSSI areas and collectively these are known as Shorne and Ashenbank SSSI. It has not been possible to ascertain whether these sites would be suitable for epipactis - certainly not listed under current flora as describe by English Nature.
