Image:Anthyllis vulneraria var. coccinea herbarium specimen from Kynance, VC1 West Cornwall in 1929 by Mr Job Edward Lousley.
fruits/flowers:mature flowers
notes:This plant grows intermixed with plants with normal coloured flowers and intermediates, while plants which would pass for "coccinea" may sometimes be found right off the Lizard rocks as at Gunwalloe. To my mind it is not a very convincing variety. J E Lousley. Mr Wallace asked me to write a note on this plant, but we are hoping to be further enlightened on the group when Mr Barton is able to continue the work he started a few years ago.

Inferred details are marked.
