Not to be sneezed at

This plant rejoices in the name of Sneezewort, or Achilla ptarmica if you want to be technical.

 

It confused the heck out of me, as my book says it grows in damp acid grassland, yet this picture was taken today in dry limestone grassland at Dixton embankment nature reserve. Probably the plant had not read the book and didn't know any better. Careless of it.

 

My thanks to Jim Horsfall for posting his excellent picture of this plant that confirmed the identity of mine.
