Yellow Pimpernel
Taenidia integerrima
An airy woodland-edge umbel of small yellow flowers floating on slender blue-green stems, giving the effect of a native, better-behaved fennel. A host plant for black swallowtail. Happiest on dry rocky slopes in dappled light, where it seeds about gently without ever dominating.
