In 1889 this plant was known only from a locality in Bergen 

 County. In 1896 it was discovered at Forked River by Mr. 

 Albrecht Jahn and other members of the Philadelphia Botanical 

 Club, and later Mr. Bayard Long extended its range southward 

 to Long Beach. Mr. Stewardson Brown tells me that he is sure 

 that he found it in the Manasquan River at Point Pleasant, about 

 1885, but no specimens are preserved.
