Hello
I cant help with locating for you unfortunatly. On the subject though, does it matter if the root (if used for beer) is pulled when the plant is flowering ? As it is recommended not to eat when flowering as the root hardens. I saw some in a forest near Arlington, east sussex. Cant miss it as it had bright purple flowers on it.

Here is an image from the NBN database showing the 10km squares for the vice county of Derbyshire showing in which squares Burdock (Arctium lappa) has been found.kiakanpa said:

Hi spamel,
It is copied off the info from the National Biodiversity Network
Simply go there, enter a plants name and it gives national distribution with more advanced info and interactive map etc. Good stuff
