Frequent on bare ground with some shade, often beside paths Flower diameter c 1.5 cm. Fruit c 1 cm across. Skye ID: In fruit can be told from escaped Garden Strawberry by the much smaller fruit which has seeds projecting from surface, not sunk in the flesh. Side leaflets mostly unstalked; distinctly stalked in Garden S. Sepals not conspicuous from above through gaps between petals, unlike Barren Strawberry, which also has totally different fruit. Leaves with appressed hairs beneath, Barren S has spreading hairs there. Other features: End leaflet V-shaped at base (more rounded in Garden S). Spreads by long runners forming fresh plants where they touch the ground, as with Garden S. |
