shown in the cut. Although the leaf of the Narrow-leaved Cath- 

 arinea is narrower, the midrib is much broader, constituting 

 one-third to one-quarter the breadth of the leaf.

 late autumn to early spring. 



In swampy places by brooks along the south shore of Long 

 Island, and probably along the coast of New Jersey, Connecticut. 

 and Rhode Island, the Crisped Catharinea is not infrequent. Its 

 leaves are twice as broad in proportion to their Length as those of 

 the Wavy Catharinea, and are not at all wavy when moist. The 

 capsule is very much shorter than in either of the other species
