Lots of the white form of the "Sore throat" plant aka #Squinancywort (Asperula cynanchica), a member of the Bedstraw family & v easily overlooked, in the #chalkgrasslands on #NewtimberHill at the moment.
A chalk & limestone restricted plant.
Nature needs more of her chalk lands returned to her!

Yes indeed and so lovely, this pretty member of the Bedstraw family, #Squinancywort, growing in chalk grasslands, obtains it name from once being used to treat Quinsy, bacterial infection of tonsils often following tonsillitis, no longer used as antibiotics is more appropriate they say🙄.

Sore throat anyone?
