Ed. 2, 4. I755- Callitriche vernalis Koch, Syn. Fl. Germ. Ed. 2, 245, 1837. Aquatic or growing in the mud, stems 2'-io' long. Sub- merged leaves linear, i-nerved, retuse or bifid at the apex, 5"-io" long; eniersed or floating leaves obovate, obtuse, truncate or retuse at the apex, narrowed at the base into a margined petiole, dotted with stellate scales; aquatic forms occur with the leaves all linear; fruit 2-bracted, oval, 4"-i" long, about one-half as broad, nearly flat on the face, slightly notched at the apex, winged only toward the apex, or all around, separated by a deep groove. Mostly in cold or running water, apparently occurring nearly throughout the United States and Canada. Also in South America, Europe and Asia. Water-chickweed. July-Sept. 3. Callitriche heterophylla Pursh. Larger Water-Starwort. Fig. 2771. Callitriche heterophylla Pursh, Fl. Am. Sept. 3. 1814. Similar to the preceding species, either aquatic or grow- ing in the mud. Fruit smaller, mostly obovate, usually slightly less than i" long, and about the same breadth, broadly notched at the apex, thick, plano-convex, almost ventricose at the base; lobes obtusely angled with a small intervening groove, wingless, or with a narrow wing or raised border on the margins; styles usually longer than the fruit, erect.
