Ivy-leafed TOADFLAX : Cymbalaria muralis

Also called  Kenilworth ivy.

Ivy-leaved toadflax is not a native species to the UK, but is now considered naturalised, having been here for several hundred years.

It is a small, perennial herb that is often found growing in cracks in stone walls and has become a familiar sight around West Dunbartonshire.

Look closely and you will notice that its tiny, mauve flowers with white and yellow bulges resemble those of a snapdragon. It has reddish stems.
