I think I ID'd some Common Scurveygrass flowers earlier but I'm not
sure.... if anyone can help I'll post a pic?


The quickest solution may be to have a look at
http://www.wildflowers.co.uk/acatalog/n129.jpg*or do a google image
search for "scurvy grass"


Have done a google already, that's how I came up with the ID but not
sure if my methods are correct (it looks similar to a couple of
other plants)

I have difficulty identifying little white crucifers, but I think
that I can identify Common Scurvygrass (as seen at the Mull of
Galloway and at Rockcliffe on Rough Firth). Try posting a pic.


What are the other plants?


BTW, Danish Scurvygrass is common on roadside around here.


Thanks Stewart (you ID'd my last post BTW!) - I'll have to dig out my
Wildlife/Flowers book to see what the others were.... in the meantime:

Looks like it. They have fleshy heart shaped leaves; the whole plant
is usually fairly flat against the ground and usually within sight of
the sea.
