obscurely Tbree-angied, very acuminate.— 



St. Stephen's ; and appears to be very circumscribed in its habitat, as I have heard 

 of it in no other part of the country. Elliot's sketch of the botany of South Caro- 

 lina and Georgia. 1. 46. . 



t Iris lacustris. Flowers without a bearded crest; leave* short ensiform; 

 scape much shorter than the leaf, one-flowered; petals nearly equal? attenuated 

 on the tube; capsule turbinate, three-sided, margined; seeds somewhat round 

 and smooth; root tuberous. Found on the gravelly shore* of the calcareous 

 Islands of Lake Huron, near Michilimakinak. I have seen no perfect specimens, 

 and therefore recommend the examination of this plant to others. It appears to be 

 allied to Iris cristata. NuttaJI's Genera of North American plants, 6tc. 1. 23.
