This is much like the preceding in its habit an- 

 manner of growth, but the ftalk produces mor; 

 branches; the leaves are lefs, and gradually di; 

 minifned to'^-ards the extremities of the branche 

 of an oval figure, wideft at the bafe, their edg( 

 entire, and a little reflexed in the dry plant, i; 

 as to make them appear acuminated, and th 

 frudifications are produced not at the extrcm 

 ties but in the middle, or near the bafe of th 

 ftalk and branches. TJie vagina is white, an 

 divided into four fliort dents. The peduncle \ 

 nearly of the fame length with that of the fo 

 mer, but the atttbera is fmaller. 



The (blk varies from an inch to a finger's lengtl 

 and the leaves • are tender, pellucid, and of 

 pale green colour. 



This and the preceding fpecies are fometimes foui 

 growing in the water, on the fides of cle 

 limpid ftreams and fountains, where it acquir 

 a ple^fant fragrant fmell, which it retains ev< 

 dry {jr fevc-ral years.
