Scrophularia oblongifolia (syn. S. umbrosa), green figwort, is a perennial herbaceous plant found in Europe and Asia. It grows in damp, shady places such as wet woodland and farmland ditches. It is very similar to the closely related Scrophularia auriculata (water figwort), from which it is best separated by the shape of the staminode.
