Other Information
Originally thought It was Rhinanthus angustifolius (Greater Yellow-rattle) because it differs from normal Common Yellow-rattle in the flowers being arranged all round the stem, as opposed to on one side, and the leaves which have quite sharp teeth. Germinated from a wild flower seed mix. Anthemis arvensis or austriaca (a Chamomile) was just beginning to flower in the same locality. It is probably a European form not native to the UK.
