- Comments
- McKinney (1992) considers this species to be a variety of V. sororia restricted to the far north and western U.S. He considers our plants to be referable to V. sororia var. missouriensis. As interpreted here, the name is applied to wetland plants, generally glabrescent and having leaves longer than wide. For the time being, we follow the long held traditional view found in most current manuals.
- Habitat
- Floodplain forests, alluvial swamps, seepage swamps, and stream banks; also, apparently in cove forests and mesic high-elevation forests. Frequent to common throughout.
