Dr E Charles Nelson says this "is almost certainly P. grandiflora - I would not expect to see vulgaris growing like that - it's quite characteristic of P. grandiflora, however, even to the tiny hibernaculae (over wintering parts) around the base. (The hibernaculae of P. vulgaris are) nowhere near as obvious and not as prolific - the reason why P. grandiflora does so well in Kerry is largely due to its vegetative reproduction, I think." |
