The unforgettable feature of this plant of the damp grasslands is not the yellow flowers but that it is so horribly sticky. You can't show this sort of feature on a web page which comes from the many little blobs of glue on glandular hairs which cover this plant. After handling this you feel you need to wash your hands.
