angular. The taste is merely herbaceous, nor is any 

 particular quality attributed to this plant. 

 Dr. Swartz found a plant in Jamaica, agreeing, as he 

 says, exactly with this, except in having four small, 

 fugacious, yellow petals, which induced him to refer it 

 to Ludwigia ,• though he remarked that the seeds were 

 attached to the central column, not to the wings of the 

 receptacle, as they ought to be in that genus. It may 

 be doubted whether Prof. Willdenow has done right in 

 considering these as one and the same species.

 "Warrington, a vei-y accurate observer. 



" The root consists of a bulbous part, adhering laterally 

 to an articulated fibrous substance, the remains perhaps 

 of the bulbs of preceding years, one articulation being 

 produced annually. Herb smooth to the touch, but, 

 with the exception of the lower part of the stem, evi- 

 dently covered with minute whitish tubercles, resem- 

 bling short close-pressed hairs. Radical leaves always
