Description
Common, dense patches, as plants of widely varying sizes, with mosses, Eleocharis, other herbaceous weeds, in exposed depressions along side of railway.
Collection notes
The different size classes (from <1cm tall/wide to >10cm tall) tended to segregate--the small red-leaved plants were near Kingshighway and the big green plants near Shaw Ave; I did not think they were conspecific when we collected them. Both were common. No clear differences in habitat.
