Spring-Water Star-Wort

Description. This is like Flea-bane, but smaller. The root is small and fibrous: the stalk is round, reddish, upright, and a foot high: the leaves are long, narrow, and of a lively green; the flowers stand at the tops of the branches, which they terminate, and are small and white. Place. It is found in many parts of England, but seems owing to seeds scattered and blown out of gardens.

Time. This sort flowers in May.
