Mycelis muralis (L.) Dumort. (Lactuca muralis (L.) Gaertner)
Article Abstract:
Mycelis muralis is a perennial hemicryptophyte that is native in Britain and prevalent in Ireland and continental Europe. Usually found in shaded areas such as woodlands, woodland clearings, forest edges, scrub, walls and rock outcrops, its flowering time generally starts in late June or early July and lasts through September or October. One of the earliest records of the long-day plant in England was that recorded by the herbalist Gerard in the 17th century, while among its first accounts in Ireland was that made by Threlkeld in 'Synopsis Stirpium Hibernicarum 1726.'
