Hi, I illustrated Narthecium ossifragum a few years back and I think the fruits are quite papery compared with one from the London sample. Though the seeds are similar.
Thanks
Kath

Hi, I think that the attached seeds and capsule are from Orchidaceae but
only have the photos in Cappers, Bekker and Jans 2006 and Beijerinck
1947 to go on.The shape and proportions of the seeds suggest Epipactis
palustris but they are obviously distorted to certain extent. The
capsule is very robust and corky possibly suggesting it is intrusive.
They are from a Roman context in South London. Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks Kath
