. An illustrated flora of the northern United States, Canada and the British possessions : from Newfoundland to the parallel of the southern boundary of Virginia and from the Atlantic Ocean westward to the 102nd meridian. Botany. PRIMULACEAE. Vol. II. I. Hottonia inflata Ell. American Featherfoil. Fig. 3285. Hottcua inflata Ell. Bot. S. C. & Ga. i: 231. 1817. Stem entirely submerged, spong>-, densely leafy, branched, sometimes 2° long. Leaves sessile, or nearly so, ovate or oblong in outline, divided very nearly to the rachis into narrowly linear entire segments \'-2' long, i"-i" wide; pedun- cles several in a cluster at the ends of the stem and branches, partly emersed, hollow, jointed, constricted at the joints, 3'-8' high, the lower joint 2-4' long, sometimes l' thick, the others successively smaller; pedicels 2"-i2" long; flow- ers 2"-3" long in verticils of 2-10 at the joints, subtended by linear bracts; corolla white, shorter than the calyx; capsule globose, about li" in diameter. In shallow stagnant ponds, Maine and New Hamp- shire to central New York, Missouri, Arkansas. Florida and Louisiana. June-Aug. Called also water-feather, water-violet, water-yarrow. SAMOLUS [Tourn. 1753- L. Sp. PI. 171 Perennial glabrous herbs, with alternate entire leaves, or the basal ones rosulate. Flow- ers small, white, in terminal racemes or panicles in our species. Calyx persistent, its tube adnate to the ovary below, its limb 5-cleft. Corolla perigynous, subcampanulate, 5-lobed or 5-parted, the lobes obtuse, imbricated, at least in the bud. Stamens 5, inserted on the tube of the corolla, opposite its lobes, alternating with as many staminodia (these wanting in 5". cbracleatus), filaments short; anthers cordate. Ovary partly inferior; ovules numerous, amphitropous. Capsule globose or ovoid. 5-valved from the summit. Seeds minute. [Name Celtic] About 10 species, of wide distribution, most abundant in South Africa and Australasia.
