Eriocaulon septangulare Witli. Seven-angled Pipewort. 



PI. XXVIII, Fig. I. 



Eriocaulon septangulare Withering, Bot. Arr. Britt., pi. 784. 1776 [Isle of 



Skye]. — Knieskcrn 33. — Willis 67. — Britron 260. — Keller and Brown 91. 

 Eriocaulon pellnciduvi Pursh Fl. Amer. Sept. I. 92. 1814. 



Ponds and bogs of the Pine Barrens and locally in lakes of the 

 northern counties. 



This species is subject to great variation in size and character 

 of foliage according to habitat. In submerged specimens the 

 leaves become well developed, nearl}^ or quite a foot (3 dm.), 

 with scapes about as long. In others the leaves are only half the 

 length of the scape, while plants on the edge of a pond or bog 

 are often only 75-100 mm. in height, with leaves 25-25 mm. 

 long, exceedingly dwarfed specimens reaching a height of only 

 25-50 mm. B. decangulare never develops the long floating 

 leaves of B. septangulare, and so far as I can ascertain E. com- 

 pressiun does not do so either. 



Fl. — Early July to early October.
