Papery leaf with a tiny dark spot/hair. Set from a papery seed pod that reminded me of a bat wing🤣

    Honesty is seeding like that at the moment.  Can’t see it’s like a batwing though.
    A photo would be good. 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    The perennial honesty, Lunaria rediviva, has a sort of wing-shaped papery  seedcase.

    Nope- seed case didn’t look like the perennial honesty
