Heath Milkwort

Description:

Flowers very similar to Common Milkwort, but normally not more than 8 per stem, though in some populations there are up to 17. The lower leaves are opposite each other and become very crowded towards the base. (Plant may have some stems on which no opposite leaves can be found). Habitat is a good guide as this plant likes wet acid ground and Common M likes dry neutral to calcareous ground. Other features: Flowers normally dark blue but can often be found pink, white or pale blue, or bicoloured as in pic on left.
