Anemone nemorosa
The Common is noted for its wild flowers, with thriving communities of yellow archangel ("Galeobdolon luteum"), wood spurge ("Euphorbia amygdaloides") and wood anemone ("Anemone nemorosa"). Spurge-laurel ("Daphne laureola") is sparsely but widely distributed. The Common is also home to such interesting species as stinking hellebore ("Helleborus foetidus"), green hellebore ("H. viridis" ssp. "occidentalis"), bird's nest orchid ("Neottia nidus-avis"), violet helleborine ("Epipactis purpurata"), the extreme rarity "E." x "schulzei" (first British record here, 1931), and green-flowered helleborine ("E. phyllanthes").
