As part of BSBI’s Threatened Plants Project, the Gloucestershire Plant Group searched for Slender Hare’s-ear (Bupleurum tenuissimum) along the Severn shore at Berkeley. This is a small plant, here no more than about 2 inches high, an unlikely-looking member of the carrot family. Most of it was in the thin fescue turf just at the top of the mini-cliffs of mud, and we did not see it even a couple of paces away from the edge. A few plants were still in flower, though most were in fruit.
