Easily confused with : Salad Burnet which is a less substantial sub-species of Fodder Burnet.
Distinguishing Feature : The flowers of both Fodder Burnet and Salad Burnet are tiny, green and mostly closed-up and clustered together like small globules on the end of the stalk. When ripe, a cluster of conspicuous red styles emerges from the closed flower cup, and a similar cluster of longer yellow anthers droops downwards like a yellow fuzzy beard.
No relation to : Burnet-Saxifrage or Greater Burnet-Saxifrage [plants with similar names]
Fodder Burnet is a much more robust and leafier sub-species of Salad Burnet and was introduced to Britain for cultivation as a feedstock plant. It is now frequently found in wild flower seed mixtures.
