Yellow rattle  (Rhianthus minor)

Yellow rattle is found throughout Britain (3). Elsewhere it occurs in much of Europe with the exception of the Mediterranean. It is also known in southern Greenland, western Siberia, and Newfoundland (2).

This plant inhabits nutrient-poor grasslands, such as hay meadows, roadsides, waste ground, permanent pasture and the drier parts of fens (3).
