Appearance
The species looks very similar to the closely related ''Scrophularia auriculata'' . Green figwort has a greener stem than water figwort, and lacks the leaf auricles which give water figwort its Latin name.The plant is probably poisonous to cows. It is pollinated by bees and wasps. It can grow in semi-shade or no shade, but requires moist or wet soil.
Status
The global conservation status of this species, as of 2013, is least concern. In the United Kingdom it is a very locally distributed species though increasingly abundant.Cultural
