250 spikes of Common Broomrape, Orobanche minor, at one site on the South Downs; very close to where I saw 25 Spikes on 14.06.23. I stopped counting at 250; there were probably ca. 350 spikes in total. The location of this cluster of O. elatior is not given. No photographs are included that might reveal the location.


I am an amateur naturalist who walks around the countryside of Sussex a lot; I am not a professional botanist!
