Native. Paludal. Very local in the east of Scotland ; 

 much more plentiful in the western counties ; fi'equent in 

 England. The only locality in the East Highlands, as far 

 as knovrn to me is that of Loch Lubnaig, recorded by the 

 late Professor Graham. I must have overlooked this con- 

 spicuous plant if it be there ; for I only recollect seeing 

 Epilobium angustifolium at the head of that lake, the 

 showy blossoms of which may have drawn my attention 

 from another plant with flowers of similar colour.
