Stachys x ambigua Smith - Hybrid Woundwort


        This map has been generated by Mapmate 18/01/2012

This hybrid is occasionally found along the margins of wet woodlands. There are records from Westwood Park (SJ7499); Worsley (SD7500); Clifton (SD7803); Broughton (SD8100 & SD8200).

The above plants are clearly intermediate in character. EF Greenwood points out that there is another hybrid form that closely resembles Stachys palustris but has subsessile leaves and the characeristic smell of Stachys sylvatica.
