Of Stinking Hellebore

Stinking Hellebore (Helleborus foetidus) is on the Rare Plant Register for Kent *.

Our luck was in when we found this Plant flowering on the Rough Ground beside Norman Road North (Grid Reference TQ49581 80758) viz.



We had seen the Plant before but it wasn't flowering and were uncertain as to its identity which has now kindly been confirmed via Twitter.

The sighting has been reported to the Kent Botanical Recording Group.

* The London Borough of Bexley is included within Vice-County 16, West Kent, for recording purposes.
