 G. as my Unisema. the capsule is uniloc. by 

 Buchanan figure, but triloc. in his descr. to 

 make it agree with P. as our Botanists do with 

 Unisema (P. cordata) that has only one seed. P. 

 hastata and P. vaginalis perhaps belong here 

 as Sub Gen. The G. is in utter confusion and 

 shall be partly revised here.

 mine has been doubted by many, yet Nuttall 

 and Torrey have verified the singular fruit, but 

 deemed it the proper one of Pontederia! and 

 our Botanists continue to admit the blunder.
