| Epilithic
= living on rocks. The equivalents would be "epixylic"
on wood, or "epidendric"
on trees - both have lots of Google hits. Purists might also distinguish
epicambic
for "on bark" but Google gives no hits, so looks like I've just invented
that one!

Greenery in the flint wall of St. Julian's Church, Kington Buci
These
plants are not really epiliths (not growing on the rock itself) because
they grow from cracks
in the flint wall

The Dandelion in the photograph was growing in the flint wall bordering the twitten next to the railway garden in Shoreham town. Dandelions seem to be more prevalent than usual this year, especially in a plot on the Hamm Road Allotments. (These were rotivated and eliminated on 30 April 2006.) |

Ivy-leaved Toadflax was found on old flint walls in Shoreham at this time of the year.
