Field Notes

Description:

Tall "wooden" plant with leaves that look like flattened pea-pods. This is how a plant actually looks like in winter, but in summer it looks completely different (look for the picture in links on the right side).

Habitat:

Forests, near water-damp woods, on lime. Throughout Europe.

Notes:

/from Wikipedia/: The common name "Honesty" arose in the sixteenth century and may be due to the translucent seed-pods which are like flattened pea-pods and borne on the plant through winter.
