(93.) N. tuberosa, Paine. Tuber-bearing Water-lily. 



Found in all the marshes along the Bay of Quinte, and abundant in 

 muddy or marshy flats along Lake Ontario, from Presqu' He eastward. 

 Without doubt this is the Water Lily of Burlington Bay, and of the 

 marshes along Lakes Erie and Huron. It has been reported from 

 London, Ont. (Burgess), and Ottawa. (Fletcher.) It is easily distin- 

 guished from N. odorata by its scentlesss flowers and tuber-bearing 

 rhizomes. This is really the Water-lily of the Great Lakes as the true 

 M. odorata seems to be confined to the northern waters, both lakes and 

 rivers.
