<:omTnon than the last. ^. 7— 9. — This has certainly a different 

 appearance from the last, but we are not satisfied that it is not th^ 

 same species growing in deeper and running water : we can perceive 

 no difference in the form of the fruit. It was first noticed by Dillenius 

 and seems to have been considered till lately a form of* the last bv 

 both British and Foreign botanists. See the Phytol. iv. p. 673.
