Field Collection Notes
Occasional clumps of these plants by river bank & road margin, only visible by the blue flowers emergent above the exotic grass sward. Appeared to have established as garden discard because they were next to dumped garden waste (most likely from houses on other side of road) & present over the bank (not on top of bank). Flowers blue
