segments revolute. Pod clothed with short spreading articulated 

 hairs. Seeds oblong-ovoid, acute at the base, clothed with small 

 sharp tubercles. Plant more or less thickly clothed with glandular 

 pubescence. 



In wet places, by the sides of streams, ditches, and ponds. 

 Rather common, and generally distributed throughout England 

 and the South of Scotland, but rare North of the Forth and Clyde, 

 though it occurs in some places in Forfarshire, and has been 

 reported from Moray. 



England, Scotland, Ireland. Perennial. Summer 

 and Autumn. 



Stem erect from the base, 3 to 5 feet high, emitting below the 

 surface of the ground, and close above it, numerous stolons about 

 as thick as a quill, those which spring from above the ground 

 bending downwards, and burying themselves close to the stem. 

 Leaves°with the base semi-amplexicaul and very shortly decurrent ; 

 the margins with remote slender unequal incurved teeth with callous 

 points. Elowers in lax racemes, often combined so as to form an 

 irregular panicle, deep purplish-rose, f to 1 inch across, much 

 more open than in any of the following species. Petals inversely 

 deltoid-roundish, notched at the apex, whitish at the base. 

 Stamens attached to a disc which lines the interior of the base of 

 the calyx-tube, the outer row twice as long as the inner, each 

 filament with a tuft of whitish hair within it. Style longer than 

 the longest stamens ; stigmas spreading in the form of a cross, at 

 length revolute, finely papillose within. Mature pods 2J to 3 

 inches long. Seeds brownish, with a broad shallow furrow on the 

 inner side, crowned by a tuft of long pure white hairs. Plant 

 entirely and thickly clothed with short articulated glandular 

 pubescence, and in addition more or less pilose with long white hairs, 

 —sometimes so numerous as to give the plant a silky appearance,— 

 sometimes so distant that it appears sub-glabrous except on the stem. 



Great hairy TFilloic-herb. 



French, £pilobe Herisse. German, Rauhhaariger Schotemveiderich. 

 This plant is vulgarly known by the name of Codlins-and-Cream, from the fragrance 

 of its flowers, which is, however, very transitory, and lasts but a few minutes after 

 it is gathered ; it is supposed, however, to smell like stewed codlina. We have often 

 heard it called Apple-pie.
