The size and shape of the leaves are variable enough, but the size of 
the flowers is always the same whether in the smallest or largest 
specimens. By the margin of the Lopollo river, especially around 
the edges of pools close to the river, very abundant; fl. and fr.

This is the Limosella mentioned by Welwitsch in Journ. Linn. Soc. 
v. p. 187 (1861) ; it should be compared with Z. maior Diels in Engl. 
Bot. Jahrb. xxvi. p. 122 (27 Sept. 1898), which may also prove to be 
only a form of the common species.
