Naiadacee in the Torrey Herbarium. 
By THOMAS MORONG. 
Plate LIX. 
As it is of general interest to botanists to know something 
about the contents of our large public herbaria, I shall not need 
to make any excuse for naming and making some notes upon the 
species of Naiadacee contained in the Torrey Herbarium: at 
Columbia College. Some service may be rendered to botany if 
students are directed - a collection where authentic or type 
forms of some of the species described in botanical works are to 
be found. I am also furnished an opportunity to describe sev- 
eral species which have long lain unnamed and unnoticed in the 
Herbarium. 
In the following paper the specimens mounted on the same 
sheet are reckoned as one, unless from different localities or col- 
lectors. Those supplied by the writer are preceded by an 
asterisk. 
As abbreviations, sfec. stands for specimen}; sf., species; for., 
foreign; Am., American; Eu., Europe; Cozt., Continental. or 
Continent. Coiihicn botanical or State abbreviations need no 
explanation. 
The tribe JUNCAGINE# is represented in the Herbarium by 
two of the four genera viz.: Triglochin and Scheuchzeria. 
1. Triglochin maritimum, L. Spec. 45; Am., from Long 
Island to Puget Sound, California and Sitka; for., from France 
and India. The set of this sp. is all that could be desired. 
2. T. palustre, L. Spec. 16; Am., from the shores of 
Niagara River and Chapman’s So. FI. Herb. ; for., from Siberia. 
3. TZ. triandrum, Mx. Spec. 8; from Key West.and Apa- 
lachicola, Fla., and N. Car. ; four of them from Herb. Chapman,
