AMONG THE WILD FLOWERS. 215 
There are two rare plants which form the 
genus latine, Water-wort, Nat. Ord. ELa- 
TINACEZ; £7. hexandria, with 6 stamens and 
3 petals, and £. Hydropiper, with $8 stamens 
and 4 petals. They form small matted green 
tufts under water. These plants have been 
found only in two or three stations ; care should 
be taken not to mistake for them specimens of 
Peplis Portula, a water plant somewhat like 
FE-latine, but larger.
