Chamaenerion angustifolium is a perennial herbaceous flowering plant in the willowherb family, Onagraceae. It is known in North America as Fireweed and in the British Isles as Rosebay Willowherb.
I always knew it as Firewood in my Scottish childhood. It seems the American name arose from the fact that it would be quick to sprout in areas that had been burned. Why then Firewood? Maybe it was Fireweed and I misheard?
