Europe; Mid. Russ. ; Siberia; Kamtk. 



North America: Anticosti; N. S., N. Br. to Hudson 

 Bay and Pac. ; N. to lat. Ql""; across the cont. southward; Atl. 

 to Tex. and in Rocky mts. to lat. 52°. It is not clear that the 

 foreign plant is this species. The long confusion with R. 

 repens makes the accurate separation of the two plants a task 

 which can not be undertaken without abundant material from 

 the different regions. 



Minn, valley: Most of what has passed for R. repens 

 Linn, and all of R. repens Linn. var. hispidus (Michx.) is un- 

 doubtedly this species. Moist and shady places or wet mead- 

 ows; damp woodland and near springs.
