Scrophularia auriculata, the shoreline figwort[1] or water figwort, is a perennial plant of the genus Scrophularia in the family Scrophulariaceae.
It is found commonly in Western Europe and North Africa, on the margins of rivers, ponds and similar damp places.
[2][3] It is an upright plant reaching 70 cm with blunt oval, crenate leaves in alternate pairs on the greenish–purple square stem, most leaves may have two small lobes at their base.
These wings are more obvious than on the closely related common figwort (Scrophularia nodosa).
The plant flowers from June to September (in the northern hemisphere) after when the flowers produce small spherical to pear-shaped capsules containing a large number of seeds.
