As Linneus has diftinguifhed other plants which have their feed- 
veffels fhaped fomewhat like this, by the trivial name of ampulla- 
ctus, I have adopted that appellation, as being more expreffive than 
roffrata, which is a term common to many, viz. P/eudo-cyperus, de- 
pauperata, Jylvatica, veficaria, &c. &c. Befides we have the authority 
of Haller for this name, who had firft defcribed it, € ampul- 
latis rofiratis. - 
This fpecies i is not common near London; AA from the 
different authors which I have cited, it appears to be an inhabitant 
of many parts of this ifland. It is to be met with plentifully at 
Virginia water. Ido not know how to add Leers’s figure 16. 2. 
n. 2. becaufe he defcribes the female fpikes pendulous—a circum- 
ftance I do not remember ever to have feen.
