Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Rosebay Willow-herb, Tisbury Named after its long, narrow, willow like leaves, the willow-herb grows as an upright spike covered with pink flowers.

Rosebay willow-herb, or fireweed, was a rare native species which suddenly began to spread in about 1860, perhaps as a result of genetic change; it is now everywhere, except the far west of Ireland, and is abundant on waste land round towns, in cleared woodland and road side verges.

Here it is growing in a rough grazing field beside the railway embankment. This field often floods.
