Or with a vegetation cover which filters 40 - 80 % of light.   Deep ravines facing south with additional shadow from trees. Or with a very dense vegetation cover which gives 80 - 90 % shadow (for instance, the Valdivian forests)     The plant grows in water or it has its roots within a permanent water course.
