  • Species Name (as per The IPNI) : Epilobium palustre L.
  • Habit : Perennial herb
  • Habitat : Wet places along streams, rivers, bogs, and marshes, often disturbed, and in subalpine meadows, widespread; 200 - 4500 m. altitude
  • Comments / notes : This extremely widespread circumboreal species occurs only sporadically in the Himalayan region; Raven's (1962) suggestion that it entered the region relatively recently from the west may account for this sparse distribution. Although specimens of E. palustre vary greatly in stature and in size of leaves, flowers, etc., this variation is highly reticulate and lacks any obvious geographical or ecological basis; we therefore treat the species without any infraspecific taxa.
