Nethybridge and Dulnain Bridge
Common Cow-wheat (Melampyrum pratense) observed at Dulnain Bridge, by David Palmar. This species is an ancient woodland indicator. The large seeds produced by this common wildflower have evolved to attract wood ants (Formica spp.). This symbiotic relationship is mutually beneficial to both parties as foraging ants are the main method of dispersal for Common Cow-wheat.
