Very common in moist grassy pastures on the alps of Europe, 

 throughout Austria, Switzerland, the south of France, and 

 north of Italy, flowering in August. Scheuchzer says it grows 

 on the shady dry ridges of hills, and he therefore wonders at 

 Tournefort's epithet o? palustris. I have gathered this plant in 

 the boggy margins of alpine rivulets, on the plain of mount 

 Cenis. Seguier, Villars, and Allioni speak of it as an inhabi- 

 tant of rich, moist, or spongy soils, among grass. Notwith- 

 standing what is said in Gerarde's Herbal, there is no autho- 

 rity for its ever having been found in Britain.
