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." |
