 Eriocaulon pclluciduin Pursh Fl. Anier. 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, nearly or quite a foot (3 dm.), 

 with scapes about as long. In others the leaves arc 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. dccangiilare never develops the long floating 

 leaves of B. septan gul arc, and so far as I can ascertain B. com- 

 prcssuni docs not do so either.
