notes:Set no. II I take to be C. spicata? These were found along a roadside verge (c. 10' wide, wettish & herb rich} The sp. seems to have predilection for such habitats and in view of my finding several sites over the past two years I feel it may have been overlooked and not so rare as supposed.
C. nigra - NS3453 ) Nr. Beith
C. spicata - NS3550 )
