The willowherb genus (Epilobium) in the evening primrose family (Onagraceae) consists of almost four dozen native plantes, often having four notched petals.

Epilobium are found throughout the United States, some like the Fireweed growing very tall, others growing close to the ground.

With the exception of the Southeast, Fringed Willowherb (Epilobium ciliatum) grows in most wetland areas of the United States.
