A mysterious parasitic plant that lives underground and is only visible when it flowers now -- Toothwort.

 In the Long Plantation of Shabden Park in Surrey this footpath has been coppiced and Toothwort is in flower now adjacent to hazel trees.  I have also seen it in Derbyshire (the Dales), Shropshire (Wenlock Edge) and here in the Surrey Hills; all calcareous limestone or chalk habitats and, as yet, never in Sussex.  I keep looking in Sussex!

 It is late this year compared to last year and is becoming overgrown by Dogs mercury and other woodland plants.
