Very common in grassland and moorland, roadsides, forestry rides. Flowerhead diameter c 3 cm Skye ID: Unmistakable. When in bud or fruit can still be recognized by the involucral bracts with long bristles. Other features: Flowers occasionally white. Probably all Skye plants belong to subspecies Nigra, which has the stem well swollen beneath the flowerhead as in pic on left. |
