Hi guys,
I am currently doing my 3rd year dissertation at University in the UK.
I have some photos of a few plants and am looking for the species of
each one.
All the photo's were taken next to a small river in Birmingham, UK
The photo's of the plants can be seen here - 'Identification: Some very
common British plants.. HELP!! - UBC Botanical Garden Forums'
(
Identification: Some very common British plants.. HELP!! - UBC Botanical Garden Forums
)
The first 2 photo's are of grasses and i am looking for someone's best
guess of the species.
For the 3rd photo i am looking for the plant name of the small broad
leaved specimens in the middle of the shot
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Aidan

3rd year and you still don't know how to use referance books in the
university library,
Shame on you.
If he's not a botanist, reference books might not help him; it's taken
me two and a half (or more) years to learn to recognise the commoner
cichorioid daisies even with the help of several floras.
The second grass is Dactylis glomerata. (There is a second species of
Dactylis present in Britain, but it's rare.)

Agree with Stuart. The first and third pics are of plants without flowers - most keys use floral features,, and identification of a plant out of flower is most easily done by someone who has actual knowledge of the plant.
