I was getting ready to pull them up, which I hate to do until I know what it is. Thank you for staying my hand, as I have a medecinal herb garden, and these two are most welcome to stay. I am indebted to you. Hoary willow-herb would have been well down my list of guesses, but photographs can be misleading. These photographs at Flikr appear to be correctly identified. http://www.flickr.com/photos/1423038...n/photostream/ Here, E. parviflorum is "easily" identified; the flowers are actinomorphic (therefore not Chamaerion angustifolium); the flowers are relatively small (therefore not E. hirsutum); and the stems and leaves are prominently hoary (therefore not E. montanum or E. lanceolatum). In addition to being hoary, it is additionally distinguished from other erect growing willow herbs (E. ciliatum, E. obscurum, E. tetragonum and E. roseum) by having a four-lobed rather than clavate stigma; the sessile nature of the leaves further distinguishes it from E. roseum. (I'm currently struggling to identify two, I think, further species of willowherb from among E. ciliatum, E. obscurum and E. tetragonum.) But I don't know what other species come in the mix in your neck of the woods, whereever that may be. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
