Stratiotes L. Hydrocharitaceae. i Eur. (incl. Brit.). S. aloides L. 

 (water soldier). Short stem bearing roots and a number of aloe-like 

 1. with toothed edges. In the summer it floats up to the surface and 

 bears the (dioec.) fls. It sinks in autumn. It gives off numerous 

 axillary shoots with big buds at the ends, and these grow into young 

 plants, which become free and sink to the bottom, where they remain 

 over winter.

Streptocarpus Lindl. Gesneriaceae (i). 30 Afr., Madag. (Cape prim- 

 rose). In -S\ polyanthus Hook., &c., the embryo in the exalbum. seed 

 has 2 cots, and a hypocotyl, but no plumule or radicle ; the hypocotyl 

 enters the soil, swells up at the end and develops absorbent hairs; 

 presently however roots (adv.) form above the swelling, which dies 

 off. One of the cots, continues to grow, while the other dies. Thus 

 the young pi. consists of a large green cot. with few adv. roots. The 

 cot. continues to grow, and reaches considerable size. Finally the infl. 

 arises as a bud from the base of the petiole, and leafy shoots may also 

 arise. (Cf. the artificial repr. of Sinningia.)
