plant near the surface; for Mr. Anprerson observed that, 
though the water in which it grew did not exceed eighteen 
inches in depth, it never shewed any disposition to attach 
itself to the earth. 
Poursn quotes Abbot’s Insects of Georgia for a figure of 
this species, but probably from memory, as he does not refer 
to the particular plate ; nor can we find any figure of Jussieva 
there, but one of erecta, which has a four-cleft calyx, four 
petals, and four stamens; and cannot therefore belong to 
grandiflora, as this is decandrous, and has uniformly five 
petals, and a five-cleft calyx. 
Native of North America ; growing in swamps and ponds 
of Carolina and Georgia. Flowers from July to September.
