Hi Dave,
thank you for your reply.
Maybe I could confuse the leaves, but I also considered the many
flower/fruit stalks which arose from the rosettes: I assumed in the hybrid
they should have an intermediate look. However, I couldn't find anything
unusual.
Is actually the stalk different from the one of D. rotundifolia?
Also, on our wildflora books this hybrid is never reported, while the one
between D. anglica and D. rotundifolia is usually present.
Kindest regards
