Many thanks kayakamina and emeritus, very much appreciated. Now for the �500 prize crossword.
Herb Paris is a perennial plant that grows to approximately 40cm tall with a whorl of 4-8 leaves near the top of the stalk. Its flower is small, consists of narrow green petals and produces a black-purple berry at the centre. It prefers damp woodland with calcareous, limestone soils. Although herb Paris is common across Europe this plant is rare in Britain.
