The thick glandular hairs, which cover the leaves of this and 

 other species, will readily distinguish them from other plants.

 white flowers. Wet, boggy land. July, August,

 tute of nerves, tipped with a small point. Sm. 



Very common on our salt marshes, flowering in June and 

 after. Leaves obovate, or spatulatc, waved at the edge, very 

 smooth and entire, nerveless, mucronated at the tip. Scape
