Corrections to some identifications

The postings relating to Craighead Quarry show Red Catchfly (Viscaria vulgaris) as being in the area. This is actually Common Centaury (Centaurium erythraea) .

The postings relating to Glencarse Hill show Great Water Dock (Rumex hydrolapathum). This is an outsized specimen of Curled Dock (Rumex crispus).

The postings relating to Glencarse Quarry show Greater Burnet Saxifrage (Pimpinella major). This is Common Valerian (Valeriana officinalis).

These corrections are by local expert Martin Robinson, at present writing a Rare Plants Register for East Perthshire, to whom many thanks.
