WATER FIG WORT (Scrophularia aquatica, L.) 



Water Figwort is typically an aquatic plant growing by the side of 

 tracts of water, being rooted in the mud, and a thorough hygrophyte. 

 It is to be found by the sides of most rivers, streams, and other types 

 running water. It also frequents still waters, such as lakes, ponds, 

 pools, and even ditches by the roadside. It is seldom found away 

 from water.
