In ponds and lakes of Carolina and Virginia; also near

dows. Y. July. v.v. Flowers large, yellow, re- 
sembling a double tulip. The seeds are very agreea- 
bie to eat, and eagerly sought for by children and In- 
dians, By the latter it is supposed they were intro- 
duced to those ponds near Philadelphia, as there is no 
other instance known to have been found so far north. 
Walter mentions his Nelumbo to have white flowers ; 
this variety I have never seen.

living plant.
