Ricciocarpos natans
(L.) Corda

The terrestrial form of Ricciocarpos natans (Fringed Heartwort) looks quite different to its aquatic counterpart, being more fleshy and often with a purplish tinge. This photo was taken in a muddy, cattle-poached pingo in Norfolk, where it was growing in great abundance.
