( H. roseus Thore ex Loisel. ).
Perennial herb; stems 80-120 cm, simple, erect. Leaves 10-15x4—9 cm, suborbicular to ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, irregularly dentate to crenate, sometimes shortly 3-lobed, whitishtomentose beneath with soft, stellate hairs; petiole 2-6 cm. Pedicels 5-7 cm. Epicalyx-segments c. 11; sepals united in basal half; petals c. 7 cm, pink (rarely white with red base). Capsule 15-25 mm, subglobose, enclosed in calyx. Seeds glabrous. Marshes and river-banks. N. & C. Italy; S.W. France; Portugal. Ga It *Lu. (E. North America.)
The European plant (which is found also in Algeria, but doubtfully native) is sometimes separated as H. roseus Thore ex Loisel. , FI. Gall. 434 (1807), but its differences from American specimens appear to be slight and inconstant.
