navelwort

I spotted this flower with its tall spike of greenish bell-shaped flowers beside a woodland path in Clifden Glen. It gets the name navelwort from the shape of the leaves, which are round, with a navel-like dimple in the centre. It is sometimes called “wall pennywort” as its leaves are similar looking to those of the pennywort although they are not related.

I highly recommend the new edition of Zoe Devlin's book The Wildflowers of Ireland: A Field Guide.
