293. E. obscurum, Schreb. Short-podded Square-stalked Willow- 



herb. 

 Native ; by streams, ditches, roadsides, in moorland swamps, and 

 on banks. Very connnon. June to October. Area general. 

 Over the whole country, open and enclosed. May be seen just around 

 Plymouth, as well as in the swamps of Dartmoor. It sometimes occurs 

 in very dry spots, although evidently having a preference for damp places. 

 I am inclined to think it the commonest species of the genus. 



294. E. palustre, L. Narrow-leaved Willow-herb. 



Native ; in moorland bogs, by streams, and in swampy and damp 

 places in the wilder tracts. Rather rare and local. July to
