In Chaucer's day it was used for swellings, gout, &c. It is gathered with Water Cress, being acrid, disagreeable, and poisonous. But it is used as a spring salad occasionally. ESSENTIAL SPECIFIC CHARACTERS: 237. Veronica Beccabnnga, L. Stem rooting below, prostrate, glabrous, leaves stalked, oval, serrate, flowers blue, in axillary racemes, capsule globular. Water Mint (Mentha aquatica, L. ) Like numerous other aquatic types, Water Mint finds a place in the ancient floras preserved to us. It is... represented in Preglacial beds at Pakefield, Suffolk; Interglacial and Roman beds at Silchester. The present distribution of the plant is Europe, N. Africa, N. And W. Asia, and it has been introduced into North America. This plant is uni- versal in distribution in Britain, growing in every county in Great Britain as far north as the Orkneys, and up to a height of 1500 ft. , for instance, in Yorks. It is a native also of Ireland and the Channel Islands. Water Mint is a hygrophyte, luxuriating in the moisture of river- sides, wet places by ditches, pools, and ponds, around the margins of which it forms quite a fringe in many places.
