Common throughout the State in ponds and dams. Especially 

 plentiful in the Pine B^arrens, where the mlajority of the pknts 

 have smaller leaves and often smaller flowers representing- the 

 so-called variety minor. Sometimes the pink color, which is 

 usually apparent on the back of the petals, suffuses the whole 

 flower to a greater or less degree, and this represents the form 

 rosea, which is recognized by some authors. Fine examples of 

 these pink flowers were observed by I. H. Hall, July 4, 1865, 

 near Atsion,* and the late Mr. Albrecht Jahn collected some at 

 Hanover, Burlington Co., which are in the herbarium of the 

 Philadelphia Academy. The original water lily that formed the 

 basis of Dlyand's description was received from Mr. Williami 

 Hamilton of the "Woodlands," Philadelphia, and quite likely 

 came from the New Jersey side of the Delaware, as the plant 

 was always more common there than on the Pennsylvania side.
