thirds buried in the ground. eaves glabrous, about 1 m. long; 
petiole obtusely pe ~ 4.dm. long; rachis somewhat angled; 
leaf-segments about 14 on each ae of the rachis, spreading nearly 
at right angles, 17-21 cm. long, 2-2.7 cm. wide, 4-5 cm. apart, 
linear-oblong, obtuse, or ee rounded or subtruncate, and 
finely sparingly toothed at the apex, falcately narrowed at the base, 
the margins thickened and slightly revolute, the 4o~-45 nerves closely 
para ee Pes peduncle about 4 cm. long, 1.2 cm. thick below, 
2 cm. at ee top, densely pubescent; fruiting strobile oblong,

LEMNA MINOR L.
