 (Gray) JV. blanda of gardens?). Fig. 1.501 

 Distinguished from No. ,34 chiefly by tin 

 numerous slenderly attached and spontane 

 ously separating tubers, 1-3 in. long oi 

 the rhizome. Lvs. when floating lest 

 coriaceous than in 34, and more vein\ 

 above; petioles marked with longitudina 

 brown stripes ; no purple or red coloi 

 about lvs. or sepals: fls. 4-9 

 pure white, open three or four days from 

 8 A. M. to 1 p. M. ; petals broad, concave : 

 seeds the large.st of the genus. North

 spreads rapidly by tubers. Moderate bloomer. 



44. Var. minma, {JV .odorata.vnT. maxima of gardens).

 curved out at apex to a short point; petioles pubescent, 

 with long hairs, with a few faint longitudinal brown 

 stripes: fls. medium to large, pure white, somewhat 

 cup-shaped. Lake Hopatkong, N. J. Bather smaller 

 than the type ! Possibly a natural hybrid of JV. titberosa 

 and odorata.
