Just looked at ones I have on my phone. This does the job

Just found this in "A Flora of the Sheffield Area" (1988)

Found some Common restharrow leaves for comparison

Thank You.
Louise Hill (VC63 recorder) sent me some detailed info on the species, I just wasn't sure about some of the leaf tooth counting, will try and make an effort to go find local repens to compare leaves.

These are her comments on it from iRecord

Thank You. It was difficult finding any lower, trifoliate leaves , they seem to have been lost with mainly single ones around seed heads remaining. Managed to find one. Could revisit next year

Help needed. Yesterday I noticed a small upright shrubby looking plant.
Went to look and it had a restharrow like flower though mainly in seed, got hold of it for a picture and ouch, unexpected spines. Is it spiny RH? Never seen one, or something else?

Also a difference seems to be spikelets attachment directly to stem or with a short stalk.
It would be nice to see some detailed pictures of Bs for comparison

This threw me as I was using previous experience of the general look of the plant for ID but couldn't recall why it wouldn't be False Brome instead. Looking through books it seems Bs would be hairier, with longer spikelets due to more flowers in each spike.

Noticed some clumps of bearded couch next to a stream in a wooded area. Decided to use iRecord to put a record in
and as I was doing so it came back with Brachypodium sylvaticum as the most likely candidate with elymus caninus second choice. @bsbibotany.bsky.social

In the past 15 years soft shield fern has started turning up in and around Sheffield.
You wouldn't know this from the distribution map brown squares are records from 2020 onwards and mainly showing in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Doubt I would have noticed Water Chickweed if it wasn't in flower and it's the first time I have seen this plant. Last week. at Woodhouse Washlands, Sheffield. #WildFlowerHour

Late for #WildflowerHour and late as I saw these #UrbanPlants last month.
Two grasses growing together

Hope so.
I am just reading "Rare Plants" and Yellow Bird's-nest is mentioned as "Endangered".
Recorded this at a site in 2021 and it still isn't showing up. I since found out it was recorded nearby a few years earlier and last year it was recorded in various other places in the vicinity.

Thank you for the link and name change info. The drawings on there are amazing.

Looking forward to reading the book as I spend a lot of my time looking at street plants.

Amused a colleague at work last week after trying for ages to get a good picture of a plant in the car park for iRecord

Hi Linden.
Do you know what the difference is between Sasa palmata and Pseudosasa japonica? Someone just asked if the plant he found is one of those

Surprised to see an Earwig with her eggs at this time of year.
This is soil along side of a plant pot that was exposed when I tried to clear pot of weed seedlings and pot fell away.
I have replaced the pot to keep them safe
