During 2016 we found what we assumed to be Neapolitan Garlic (Allium neapolitanum) viz.
growing beside the Footpath that runs between Church Manorway and the Thames Path.
It was suggested at the time that it might be Hirsute Garlic (Allium trifoliate).
And following recent exchanges with the Kent Botanical Recording Group (KBRG), it has been formally confirmed as Hirsute Garlic.
Kent Botany 2020 notes: 'the first recognised record for West Kent appears to have been by MR near Erith, TQ5079, beside the Footpath from Church Manorway to the Thames Path, found on 24 April 2016, surmised by GK to have been A. trifoliatum at the time but not followed through with confirmation until 2020'.
