Having a quick flick through my 'Wildguide' by 'David Lang' ISBN 1-903657-06-7 (www.wildguides.co.uk) you seem to have them all labeled correctly.. I find these books very useful and easy to use and what's more, when you buy them they contribute to conservation through the Wildlife Trusts.. Sorry if it seems like an advert but since it also answers your query, I thought it useful to share these type of books with you.
As for the Pyramidal, the book says plants are 10-60cm tall with numerous, narrow and pointed leaves..

Hi Brett
thanks alot, i've been identifying them using the internet but all the colour variations are doing my head in, oddly enough it didn't have southern marsh down for an variations at all but i figured it was probably the same as the leaves were similar
