In watery boggy places, about the banks of rivers especially. 



Perennial. July, August. 



Boot tufted, somewhat creeping, with many long fibres. Steins 

 several, 2 or 3 feet high, erect, branched, leafy, round, downy, 

 often brown or purplish, filled with pith. Leaves on short stalks, 

 deep green, downy, but rather rough to the touch, for the most 

 part in 3 deep, lanceolate, strongly serrated lobes, sometimes 

 in 5, when they assume a pinnate, rather than digitate form ; 

 the upper ones only, according to the confession of Dillenius 

 himself under the variety /3, are in that variety simple. This 

 often happens in the wild plant. The flowers form dense, pale 

 purplish, convex, corymbose tufts, at the top of the stem and 

 upper branches. Florets not more than 5 or 6. Germen be- 

 sprinkled with minute shining globules. Seed-down rough, 

 rather than feathery, prominent between the florets. Whole herb 

 slightly aromatic.
