On the dunes, cliff tops and in any of the grassy areas near the seaside you can often find this umbellifer. In most cases when it has finished flowering, the seeds of the umbel make a concave shape as does the flower sometimes. This photo shows unusually convex versions growing with blue Jasione montana (Sheepsbit Scabious). This could be ssp gummifer (Sea Carrot) which according to R H Roberts in his flora Flowering Plants and Ferns of Anglesey does grow near South Stack.
South Stack Cliff tops, Anglesey 7th July 2002
