The common Arrowhead of the Pine Barrens shows quite as 

 much variation in leaf form as does the Sagittaria latifolia of 

 the Delaware River and its tributaries, both varying from nar- 

 rowly linear to broadly hastate, though the present species seems 

 to exhibit the slender type of leaf more frequently. In fruit the 

 two species are readily distinguished by the beak of the achene, 

 which is erect in this form and horizontal in S. latifolia. 



The narrow-leaved form of the Pine Barren plant was long 

 confused with S. engelmanniana, a more northern species distinct 

 from either of those here considered. 



Sagittaria rigida Pursh. Sessile-fruited Arrowhead.

* Britton records it from Sandy Hook on the authority of I. C. Martindale, 

 but I have been unable to verify the record.
