 variable in color, sometimes entirely white, sometimes white with 

 a purple or blue eye, and sometimes curiously mottled and blotched. 

 Found most abundantly on the east side of the lake. Noted abund- 

 antly in flower April 30, 1901. It has a second flowering season

 mon also at the edge of the marshes surrounding Lost Lake. Fre-
