  far 
  away 
  from 
  the 
  

   only 
  two 
  known 
  stations. 
  Dr. 
  Hasse 
  writes 
  : 
  It 
  would 
  be 
  of 
  

   interest 
  to 
  be 
  able 
  to 
  account 
  for 
  the 
  sudden 
  appearance 
  here 
  

   of 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  plants 
  sent 
  you. 
  In 
  the 
  past 
  spring, 
  at 
  the 
  

   grounds 
  of 
  the 
  Soldiers' 
  Home, 
  an 
  artificial 
  pond 
  was 
  made, 
  

   where 
  no 
  running 
  or 
  standing 
  water 
  had 
  been, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  

   margin 
  of 
  ihis 
  pond 
  this 
  species 
  with 
  other 
  rare 
  ones 
  were 
  

   collected. 
  Now, 
  once, 
  or 
  several 
  times 
  during 
  spring 
  and 
  

   autumn 
  at 
  the 
  equinox, 
  heavy 
  winds, 
  lasting 
  a 
  couple 
  of"days, 
  

   set 
  in, 
  called 
  sand-storms. 
  These 
  are 
  quite 
  severe, 
  obscur- 
  

   ing 
  the 
  air 
  with 
  clouds 
  of 
  dust 
  and 
  sand, 
  and 
  which 
  may 
  ac- 
  

   count 
  for 
  the 
  distribution 
  of 
  these 
  seeds.
