Topic: Long smooth-headed Poppy/Creeping St John's Wort

Hi Prof Raper

Can you add:
- the common name Long smooth-headed Poppy for Papaver dubium; and
- the common name Creeping St. John's Wort for Hypericum calycinum.

They seem to be archaic names, but are cropping up in a few recent records.

Sorry Chris

Can you add Mountain St. John's Wort for Hypericum montanum

I think this recorder is just trying to confuse me....
