| Species Description: |
| This is a scarce, but perhaps overlooked, small herbaceous perennial of rock ledges and scree in upland situations, scattered in a few sites across the north of Northern Ireland and in County Fermanagh. The flowers, which appear in midsummer, are bell-shaped, greenish in colour, and grouped so that they all face the same way. |
| All names: Orthilia secunda (L.) House; Ramischia secunda (L.) Garecke; Pyrola secunda L. |
