Yesterday I took a visit to a quarry at Llanelwedd to survey
Epilobium lanceolatum (Spear-leaved Willowherb) which I found in large numbers. None of my photos are good enough to put here. To my surprise I came across a stand of
Telekia speciosa (Yellow Oxeye). If the information I have is correct this is the second record for Wales and the first for over 80 years.
Telekia can easy be confused with
Inula helenium (Elecampane), both grow up to 2m tall and both have similar leaves and flowers.
Telekia is far more common in gardens these days than the
Inula.
