This looks like the parasitic weed - Orobanche minor (Lesser broomrape)

Definitely is Lesser Broomrape - Aaron do we deleted this exotic weed record - or add in to system?

Wow interesting, I thought it looked pretty ugly! But interesting at the same time.. Maybe it's valuable from an educational angle to leave it on here, but yeah flag it with the Significant/Exotic flag thing. When flagged as exotic, the system automatically excludes it from all of the plant lists, so it won't pollute either the Rare or Common plant list pages. What do you think?
