Spending the weekend with my sister in law and family at their new home at Leckhampton Hill, a fabulous limestone outcrop overlooking Cheltenham. A quick walk up the hill revealed a fantastic flora, and highlighted my complete ignorance of our own native flora ??? Whilst I am familiar with the genus of most, I am struggling with the species. Can anyone please help? (Apologies for the poor quality of some images)

Hi Lawrence
1 & 2. looks like Broad-leaved Helleborine (Epipactis helleborine)
3. Centaurea sp.
4. Potentilla sp.
5. Eyebright (Euphrasia sp.)
-
No. 2 is centaurea scabiosa and 3 is probably P. reptans. Eyebrights are a large group with quite a few sub species.
-
No. 3 could be rock rose, depending on which leaf belongs to the flower.
