This is much like the preceding in its habic and 

 manner of growth, but the ftalk produces more 

 branches; the leaves are lefs, and gradually di- 

 minifhed towards the extremities of the branches, 

 of an oval figure, wideft at the bafe, their edges 

 entire, and a little refiexed in the dry plant, fo 

 as to make them appear acuminated, and the i 

 fruclifications are produced not at the extremi- 

 ties but in the middle, or near the bafe of the 

 llalk and branches. The 'vagina is white, and 

 divided into four fhort dents. The peduncle is 

 nc^rlv of the fame icno-th with that of the for- 

 mer, but the aulhna is fmaller. 



The (lalk varies from an inch to a finger's length, 

 ■ " and the leaves are tender, pellucid, and of a 



pale green colour. 



This and the preceding fpecics are fometimes found 

 f^rowing in the water, on the fides of clear 

 liriipid flreams and fountains, where it acquires 

 a ple.-^fant fragrant fmell, which it retains evea 

 dry f jr kv.ral years.
