White Helleborine "Cephalanthera damasonium "

            In the deepest part of Rice Woods near Belmont Banks is a population of the ghostly White Helleborine. Seen as being vulnerable in the UK damage to habitat have reduced its distribution and needing beech trees and chalk soils limits its range. Here, around Faversham between Plumford and Stalisfield and along the dry river valleys that traverse the chalk Downs south to north a lively population of these gentle orchids thrives.
