Lythrum salicaria
is a perennial, 0.5-1.5m in height, inhabiting marshes and
resembling Lythrum anceps in appearance. The difference is that,
with L. salicaria, there are short hairs on the stems, leaves,
sepals, etc., and the satellites, which are in between sepals, are
erect, while in Lythrum anceps, there are no hairs, and the
satellites are opening flat. The leaves exhibit an opposite
phyllotaxis, with their bases embracing the stems. Bloom time:
