Image:Dactylorhiza purpurella herbarium specimen from Walney Island, VC69 Westmorland in 1932 by Dr William Arthur Sledge.
fruits/flowers:mature flowers
notes:These plants would have been found under praetermissa Dr. var pulchella Dr. had not most of the walney plants had the small dot leaf spots of purpurella Steph. At his time (Nov 1932) Sedge & I think it will probably be necessary to amalgamate these two. Very like your Aberfraw gathering.
