Other Information
Rather rare coastal plant, in this case introduced with road salt. First record for the Bath area. The young plant gives a better idea of what it looks like. The leaves are like miniature chickweed leaves but the flowers are in large groups. The lower leaves are in fours, the upper ones in pairs.
