Default Plant identification requests

I've uploaded some of my un- and insufficiently identified plant
photographs.

Any IDs, please.

The first one is horseradish, I believe. We have loads growing around here
in Pembs. Don't dig the roots till the leaves have died off. If and when
you decide to make your own horseradish sauce, leave the windows open and
wear a gas-mask!

All I can suggest is that you try again; I checked that the pages were
working before I posted.

It worked this time - don't know why not the first time.

1. Horseradish, as already confirmed.
2. One of the Chenopodiaceae, possibly Sea Beet, Chenopodium maritima,
but could be one of the Atriplex sp. They're a difficult group, I find.
3. Annual Sea-blite, Sueda maritima, as you suggest, and another
Chenopodiaceae, as it happens. Frankenia, which you also wonder about,
has much smaller leaves and is, I think, confined to the east and south
coasts of England.

Ta. BTW, there's 20 set of pics, not 3, in case you've missed this as a
result of whatever the connection problems were.

Now you've pointed me in the right direction I think it's probably
Sea-Purslane; those photos I've found online for Beta (vulgaris)
maritima have differently shaped leaves.

Seems right.

Now I know it's a Galinsoga maybe next time I see one I can work out
which one it is.

Thanks.

Have patience! I'm a busy man :-)

I'll try and have a go at some of them next week.

I did glance at your "Silene pratensis?" and noted your reference to
Stace. I've got the second edition of Stace in which it is called Silene
latifolia, White Campion, (Keble Martin calls is S.alba!), and while
Stace says that male flowers have 10 veins, he also says that female
flowers have 20.

Your "Silene?" is, I think, Silene vulgaris, Bladder Campion. The
alternative would be S.uniflora (formerly maritima), Sea Campion, but it
isn't quite right. Unfortunately, good though your photographs are,
there are key characters not shown, for example how many flowers on a
stem and how the flowering stem is shaped. The leaves in the third
photograph of this set are not a Silene at all and are obviously
included merely to confuse :-))
