TOLYAND. MONOG. 169 



HAD. Banks of the water of Leith, near Woodhall, Mr. Sommerville 

 and Maugh. Braid woods and Cliesh woods, Mr. Arnott. FL June 

 Aug. I/. 



Flowers yellow. Stigma small, upon rather a long style. 



5. NYMPH^EA. 



1. N. alba (white Walt-.r Lily), " leaves cordate, stigma of 16 

 ascending rays." Hort. Ktw. ed. 2. Lightf. p. 283. E. B. 

 t. 160. 



HAB. Lakes and ditches, very frequent. Lochend, Edinb., Maugh. 

 Near Glasg., not unfrequent, Hopk. and Mr. Murray. Fl. July. '}/ . 



This magnificent aquatic, although long retained in the same genus 

 with the following, has many points of difference. Here the white 

 petals, as large externally as the great calycuie segments, inter- 

 nally diminish gradually into stamens. Salisbury calls the central 

 globose point of the stigma a nectary. The fruit (or berry, as it 

 is called) is soft and fleshy, scarred with the points of insertion of 

 the stani. and petals, and decays without opening. Seeds small, 

 extremely numerous. 



6. NUPHAR. 



1. N. lutea (yellow Water-Lily or Nuphar), leaves cordate their 

 lobes approximate, cal. of 5 leaves, stigma expanded (entire) 

 with from 1420 rays. Hort. Kew. ed. 2. Lightf. p. 482 

 and E .B. t. 159 (Nymphcea hit.}. 



HAB. Lakes and ditches, but not very common, Sibbald and Dr. 

 Parsons. Lochend, Maugh. Lakes, frequent, about Glasg., Hopk. 

 In the Clyde 1 m. below the Bot. Garden, Glasg., Mr. Murray. 

 H.July. 



Flowers large, yellow, 2 inches in diameter. Cal. leaves large. Pet. 

 numerous, very obtuse, thick and fleshy, deep orange, one row 

 placed just below the stamens. Outer stamens the broadest and 

 something resembling the petals. Fruit (berry) very large, flagon- 

 shaped (whence, I apprehend, in conjunction with the smell, the 

 application of the term Brandy -bottle), glabrous, fleshy. Seeds many, 

 large. 



2. N. Kalmiana (least yellow Water-Lily or Nuphar), leaves 

 cordate their lobes subapproximate, stigma cut (toothed, Sm.) 

 with from 812 rays. Hort. Kew. ed. 2. p. 294. Curt. Bot. 

 Mag. M243, E. B. t. 2292 (Nuphar minima). 



HAB. Discovered in 1809, by Mr. Borrer, in a pool near the farm of 

 Corrie-Chastel, at the foot (not upon the summit) of Ben Crua- 

 chan ; also in Loch Baladren. Loch of Monteith, Stirlingshire, 

 between the islands and shore, Mr. Arnott. Loch Duble near In- 

 verary, Maugh. Fl. July. 



This plant agrees in every particular with the specimens of N. Kal^ 

 miana I have from N. America, and equally with the specific cha- 

 racter given of that species in the 2d ed. of Hort. Kew. I cannot, 

 therefore, hesitate about restoring the older name to it. The cssen* 

 tiul differences are noted in the specific character, to which I may
