subsagitta marginibus subrevolutis. Feminae solitariae, axillares, involucello ut in 

 masculis. Cal. 0. Ovar. ovale. Styl. 2. Fmctus vesicseformis, indehiscens, 

 substantia farinacea et aquosa fcetus." 



*' Planta calyce gracili, albo, semilineari, in lacustribus crescens. Flor. mens. Mart." 

 Plant not seen, but the markedly alternate leaves and structure of the male flower are 



incompatible with anything known of the genus. 



Najas rigida. Griff. Not. iii. 181 (1851). 



" Foliis carnosis rigidis (e tela composita celliilosa), alternis, interspatiis concavis. Pistil, 

 perianthio tuhuloso apice spiculigero inclus. 

 Hab. ''in aquis stagnantibus Serampore." "Colour blackish green." 

 The prcseDce of a perianth in the female flower points to N. indica (the only Indian 



species of the section Spathacea?), but the fleshy rigid leaves do not accord, and alternate 



leaves are incompatible with the genus as at present understood.
