Order CLI]. CYCLANTHACE. 
Cyclanthacee, Benth. et Hook. Gen. Plant. ii. p. 952. 
This order is wholly American, and consists of four genera and about thirty-five 
species, many of which, however, are only imperfectly known. 
1. CARLUDOVICA.

Order CLIT]. TYPHACEA. 
Typhacee, Benth. et Hook. Gen. Plant. iii. p. 954. 
Aquatic and marsh plants of very wide distribution. The order consists of the two 
genera Sparganium and Typha and about fifteen species. 
1. TYPHA. 
Typha, Linn. Gen. Plant. n. 1040; Benth. et Hook. Gen. Plant. iii. p. 955. 
About ten species, some of which are almost cosmopolitan. 
1. “Typha, an latifolia, Linn.? an truxillensis, H. B. K.?” Ch. et Schl. in 
Linnea, vi. p. 23. 
South Mexico, Lake of Jalapa (Schiede & Deppe). 
We have seen no specimen of any species of this genus from within our limits. It 
is probable that the form collected by Schiede and Deppe was T. angustifolia, Linn., 
var. domingensis, Pers., which ranges from Texas, through the West Indies to Brazil.
