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°. Itis 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.
