Local Flora of Exmoor

If you are having trouble identifying what you have, the New Flora of Devon might be of use. It is highly recommended by some MM forum members.
It is written for professionals, and as a lay person, I find it an uninviting read, but grit your teeth and see how you get on; you might find your own area mentioned. It may provide an answer for that plant you have, that doesn't quite match the usual description, and if you are really super keen, it may make your walks more interesting by drawing attention to the plants around.
