Other Information
Only patch I am aware of in the immediate locality. Don't tend to notice the veining on flowers from afar - reminiscent of green-winged orchids - Simon Crampin. There are a few scattered colonies, usually in hill pastures and probably native. I was not aware of this locality. There is a single patch in a pasture above Charlcombe Church - Rob Randall.
