Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium) foliage is linear with smooth but wavey margins.  Veins are almost perpendicular to the midrib and parallel to each other.

Foliage is generally 4 to 8 inches long and up to 1 inch wide.  Leaves are sessile (no petiole) along the stem and taper to a point at the tip.
