Ponds and slow streams in the Middle and Cape May districts, 

 and at several stations north of our limits, but apparently all in 

 the Coastal plain. 



Mr. Bayard Long tells me that he thinks our local material 

 represents two forms, probably C. demersum and C. echinatum, 

 but that the character of foliage and spines on the fruit do not 

 seem sufficiently constant to warrant recognition.
