DurRING THE SUMMER OF IQOI 351 
I will designate my own specimens as: the type of the foregoing 
description. Similar specimens are in the Columbia University 
Herbarium, collected in Louisiana by Dr. Hale, and in Thomas 
County, Georgia, by Dr. Small in 1895. But this southern plant 
seems to differ from Castalia odorata only in its larger size and 
more prominent veins on the lower surface of the leaves, and is 
probably entitled only to varietal rank at the most. It cannot be 
the Vymphaca reniformis of Walter,* so I have given it a new 
name as above. 
The leaves of my specimens were fully as large as those 
described by Mr. Nash, and their edges were often slightly up- 
turned, as also noted by him, allowing the wind to get under them 
and turn them partly over. This plant is very abundant in Cane 
Water Pond, and its leaves and flowers are the most conspicuous 
objects on the surface of the water there.

On August 9 I visited the type-locality of this species in 
Thomas County for the purpose of securing some authentic fresh 
specimens for Dr. Gerrit S. Miller, Jr.. who is doing some work 
on the genus, and I had little difficulty in finding it (no. 1178). 
Four days later it was seen in Cane Water Pond, in the next 
county. | 
I can now correct an unfortunate error in the original descrip- 
tion. Dr. Small says of the leaves, ‘‘ the upper leaves rough with 
irregular papillae,” but in reality the upper surface is perfectly 
smooth in life, but becomes rough in drying, as in some other 
species of the genus. Dr. Small calls the locality ‘‘a small lake,” 
but it is nothing but a cypress pond, the level of which has been 
artificially raised a few feet for fishing purposes by a dam, and it 
could hardly be dignified by the name of lake.
