Notes
This plant is particulary common in Area 3, N6, on recently disturbed ground. It occurs elesewhere, however, and is persistent along the track in Area 3a.

The plant has a faint but pleasant smell close to - a fact not often mentioned in the books which usually mention a pungent smell when the leaves are crushed. This may refer to the related D. muralis, but I haven't tried either.
