Oenothera versicolor Lehm. - Sunset Evening-primrose

A plant with strong red-flowers and lanceolate leaves was found on disturbed ground in Salford (SJ89E, J Clarke, c. 2002). Examination of a voucher specimen suggested that the plant was this species and the variety ‘Sunset Boulevard’ which is occasionally grown in gardens.

This introduced species is Neophyte to the British Isles, usually a casual and is native to the Andes.
