Europe; Mid. Russ. ; Siberia; Kamtk. 



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

 Bay and Pac. ; N. to lat. 67; 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.
