Common in damp shady places with fairly rich soil. Height c 50-90 cm. Flower diameter c 4-6 mm Skye ID: Sepals do not have a white border 0.5-1 mm in width like Water Figwort, though they may have an almost imperceptible border. Other features: Staminode (just beneath top petal) notched or at least flat-tipped (examine several). The books say that Figwort does not have winged stems and Water Figwort does, but that is misleading as the stems of Figwort are often slightly winged. Figwort has an imposing appearance, Water Figwort a more delicate one. |
